Ing paper which le headed, "Capital Stock Muet Be $100,000,” thla according to a decision rendered by Attorney General John C. Hart In response to request from Secretary of State Philip Cook. The Inaurance company referred lo recently applied for a charter to do Industrial business under the name of the "Rome. Industrial Life Insurance Company.” The originator of thla com pany Is Mr. J. J. Reese, of Rome, Ga., and as Mr. C. R. Porter's name appear, ed with others as applying for the char ter, 1 have been asked regarding same. The Rome Industrial Life Insurance Company has nothing whatever to do, directly or Indirectly, with the State Mutual Life Insurance Company of Rome, Ga., for which I am Atlanta manager. The State Mutual of Rome holds a unique position In life Inaur ance fields In th* South, If not In the whole country. It haa deposited with the state treasurer securities valued at over S100.000 for the protection of the policy holders In Georgia, it wrote more business In Georgia last year than any two companies doing business In the state, and while only operating In twelve or thirteen states. It stood sev enth In gain of business written In the entire United States. It Is lending Its money entirely |n Georgia and the South, and we should feel proud of Its record. Its solvency and conservative management can be confirmed by the commissioner of In surance and the state treasurer. I am requesting you to Insert this for fear the announcement In this morning's pa. per may be misleading and refiect upon the company I represent. Yours very truly, WALTER A. TATLOR, — . .
