the House again to-day, Republicans
contending that the rate on lemons
In the Fnderwood bill was too low

The present law carries lemons at 68
per cent.

and low freight rates across the At

Life Insurance Company
OF ATLANTA, GEORGIA
Is not the Old Cosmopolitan which failed,
but the new company, with new charter, new
officers, new ideals and new cash, which bought
the assets and insurance of the old company at
public sale, and added to these assets enough
additional capital to make the new company
an absolutely sound financial institution.
Upon verification and approval by the Insurance Depart
ment of the State of Georgia, of its detailed statement of as
sets and liabilities, The Cosmopolitan Life Insurance Com
pany, of Atlanta, has been granted license of date May i,
1913. and has already actively entered the field.
Following is a brief summary of the statement of the
condition of The Cosmopolitan Life Insurance Company,
as of April 26, 1913, upon which the Insurance Commission
of Georgia issued the Company its license:
FINANCIAL STATEMENT
Gross Assets . „ . „. . .

Capital and Surplus $26(1,©38
Undivided Profits . 1.08,539
Net Assets
$499,129
130,554
$368,575
NOTF.—The above statement does not include stock notes, amounting to $137,478,62, and accrued in
terest, which were acquired in the purchase of the assets of the old Cosmopolitan Company, since the ex
act value of same ha3 not been determined. The company will unquestionably realize a large amount from
these notes, and the amount thus obtained will increase the undivided profits. Neither does the above
include the value of approximately Two Million Dollars cf insurance acquired from the old company,
rvhich is free from agency charges of any kind.
Attention is called to the fact that this company begins
business with $363,575.70 of actual available assets, of which
$260,036 is capital and surplus, subscribed at two for one,
or $100 surplus to each $100 capital stock; and $107,539.70
is undivided profits acquired from the purchase of the assets
of the o!d company. With other assets not included in the
foregoing, but explained above, THIS COMPANY ACTU
ALLY BEGINS BUSINESS WITH ITS STOCK WORTH
MORE THAN THREE FOR ONE ON ITS BOOKS. The
capital stock of this company was sold without one penny
of charge against it, and every dollar received from its sale
has gone directly into its treasury.

it will command public confidence, are:
