Salter, Trenton, S. C. Dear Sir:?It gives me pleasure to say a word in behalf of the Abbeville^Greenwood Mutual Insurance Co. I have had the opportunity to investigate the workings of quite a number of mutual insurance companies and I have often wondered why more of our * people did.not take their insurance in good home mu? rrv, odTOrol roaanna TJtrViv T V>P LUdl UUILI|J(lIiiCO. JLUUIU aiu OOY^IUI X^MWV-UW *? j-*j ~ lieve we should patronize the mutuals, but two stand^ out very prominently to the careful observer, viz: First, the premiums are much less than in the old line ' 'companies. Second, we always know for whose benefit an assessment is paid and this gives us an element of close personal interest in all payments. I do not .. think we can place our risks in any safer company than a conservatively operated company as the com- . pany-you represent appears to be. It gives me pleas , ure to commend your company to my friends. '.Respectfully, * J. H. COURTNEY. LETTER FROM A CROSS HILL BANKER. Mr. J.R.
