TO THE PUBLIC AN OPEN LETTER FOURTEEN of the thirty-one per sons killed In the wreck of the Mystic Shrlners' special train at Honda, Cal.. on Saturday, May 11, were Insured against accident* In the Aetna Life In. surnnee Company, of Hartford, Conn. This Involves a loss of 8110.500, which is the largest loss ever Incurred by a company under accident policies In any one disaster. The total amount which the Aetna Life, had at risk on tits lives of pas senger* on this train waa at least 8154,- 000, but of those Insured with tho Com pany other than the fourteen killed only- one Is reported severely Injured. The amount* payable for deaths In this wreck are all DOUBLE THE AMOUNTS INSURED, and In FOUR cases they are TRIPLE THE AMOUNTS INSURED through tbc fact that the BENEFICIARIES were killed In the same disaster. This emphasises most strongly the enlarged scope of accident Insurance protection ss fur nished by the Aetna Life. The fact that nearly ONE-HALF OF ALL WHO WERE KILLED carried their accident Insurance In the AETNA LIFE IsjULrlklng evidence of the con fidence reposed In the Company by the Insuring public, and that confidence Is wisely so placed. It Is only a LARGE COMPANY LIKE THE AETNA LIKE thnt call withstand such a cnlamlty oh this. If all of the persona killed nnd Injured In this wreck had been Insured In the Aetna Life, the resultant claims would lie paid Immediately on .receipt of proof of death and without hi til* ■lightest degree Impairing the strength of .the Company. The Aetna Life fur nishes absolute protection to those In sured In It. The above Is another evidence of the prompt attention shown by the Aetna Life, which Is so efficiently represented In Atlanta by Mr. Charles C. Thom, 401 Equitable building. Reader, be prudent, Insure now with him. , ••• WAKE FOREST TAKESJT ALL Eamshaw and Poteat Win First Honors at Tennis. 0 Elberton Citizen Deed, Special to The Georgian.
