S. LINK. \ i IV%WWWV1 There is 110 More Reason In sending your money to New York for Life Insurance than in sending your savings there to be deposited in New York banks. rhink of This: South Carolina has been sending about Eight Million Dollars North every year for insurance, but business men everywhere are now placing their Life Insurance with Southern Companies and this big drain is beintr stonned. Investigate The Southern Life & Trust Company of Oreensboro, N. C., before placing your Insurance. It is the Strongest, Most Successful and Best Managed Company in the South. The dividends which it returns to policyholders are more than twice the average of those paid by Northern Companies. It deposits its full legal reserve with the Insurance Commissioner of North Carolina. It loans and invests money in the community where premiums are collected. It has made substantial loans right here in Abbeville County. A policy in the Southern Life & Trust Co. is equally as good as a Northern Company's policy, and the money stays at home.
