The Penn Mutual Life Insurance Company
OF PHILADELPHIA
The Penn Mutual does not offer Special Board Contracts, by which one member is promised advantages not given to all. Being a
purely Mutual Company, it could not do so and be honest.
For five years the Penn Mutual has led all Companies in Georgia in paid-for business, and now leads all Companies in volume of
business in force in the Stdte. This excellent result is because of the Company’s untarnished record for sixty years,’ the excellence of its
policy forms, its liberal dividends, and especially because of its conservative management, which believes in exact and etjual justice to all,
with special favors to none. i
We invite correspondence with capable men of good character, who desire to engage in life insurance work. While previous experience
in life insurance work is desirable, it is not essential. Liberal contracts for 1908 will be offered.
To people who intend buying insurance, we will be pleased to furnish full information and specimen policies, free from importunity,
upon application to any of our Agents or direct to this office.
