Our Growing Success, I ' J The history of the Southeustern Life Insurance Co. ? !i.is been one of complete and increasing success from the very beginning. Its business for the present (is conFned to South Carolina, but bids fair within a year or two to cover all the States south of the Ohio ? and West of the Mississippi. \ That the policy holders of the new company are ! more than protected, no one can question, as the as- j sets foot up $117,273.33 against a net reinsurance re- I \ serve of $<V>Si).()0 ar|d all other liabilities, $4,896.7d \ | | in other words. The Southeastern Life began the I I new year with a surplus to its policy holders of $102, | I 306.60, or more than seven times its liabilities to \ Jj? | them. | 1 Correcting a Heavy drain on the South I I South Carolinians are caarying insurance in North| ern and Western companies to the amount of almost one hundred million dollars, and on this insurance they are sending out of the State every year, to pay j premiums, about three million dollrs In cash. Con- [ j | ? sidering the fact that thev have in their ownState a [ J | cOmpany whose responsibility is just as high as any = > | in the land, whose insurance is written on the 6 straight old lines that never fail or cause a single ?j whisper of scandal, Is it either patiotic, wise, or to t X the personal interest of any South Carolinian to | B buy life insurance elsewhere, and further deplete ? ?
