The success or dividends of the company can be materially increased by the policy hold ers keeping in close touch with the agent operating in their territory and keeping him thoroughly acquainted with those who would likely take insurance, thereby secur ing a larger volume of bus iness with a much less ex pense. Also it is the duty of a pol- j icy holder to inform an agent when he is soliciting an unde sirable risk both from a phy sical and financial standpoint Carefully selected risks mean a low death rate which is an other source of dividends. Nothing cheers and is appre ciated more by an agent than to be informed by a policy holder that he is carrying I his insurance with the FRANK ’ LIN. A wise suggestion has been made by the management of The Franklin Life that if each policy holder would ac quaint his general agency office of at least one man who would take policy that the general agency office would send an agent at once to take his application. If this suggestion is complied with by every policy holder the company’s business would be doubled in a most econom ical way. as no policy holder undesirable risk in the com would deliberately put an pany in which he is insur ed.

HENRY ABELS. Sworn to and subscribed before me, this 11th day of Feby.l9o9. Will Taylor, Notary Public. THE SUMMERVILLE NEWS, THURSDAY, MARCH 11, 1909. Thinking Man The fact that each day of our lives we accustom our families to receive from us the necessities of life and if able the luxuries. Then we should put the question to ourselves: Would these ne cessities and luxuries still be coming to our families in event of our death? A safe and prudent way to make sure of this provision is to carry a policy in THE FRANKLIN LIFE INSUR ANCE COMPANY. For Every Woman to Read. When we pick up the daily papers and read of a divorce the question immediately arises in our mind whose fault is it 7 We solicit a uni ted effort of every member of the family to save guard the home with a FRANKLIN LIFE POLICY. In a united purpose to protect the home > there can be no fault to find. Horton, Ala. Dec. 18, 1908. Mr. W. T. Ledbetter, Southeastern Supt. Franklin Life Insur. Co. Rome, Ga.
