SWEATING in THE PENN Over .$100,000.00 of standard, legitimate life insurance having been placed in Cherokee County within the pas two and a half months by the undersigned, our distinguished competitors who have the honor of “representing” the Penn Mutual Life Insurance Company, have felt it necessary to butcher the Union Central Life Insurance Co. They have brought into play all of their brawn and brains to make sausage meat out of this greatest of “annual dividend” companies, but nothing new, their product in this line is unclean and foul-smelling. Looking out from within the Penn, it must be that the Union Central appears a frightful human object, with its lowest premiums, lowest death rate, lowest expense account, biggest interest earnings, biggest dividends paid yearly to policy holders, safest investments (none “speculative”), growing, growing every day—growing right here around the Penn. But we are notin the slaughtering business; we are here to sell you good life insurance—the best on the mar ket—the most of the best for the least—UNION CENTRAL, “THE GREAT POLICY-HOLDERS’ COMPANY.” JUST COMPARE THE RATES: 20 Ago Union Central Penn Mutual Pruden tial Aetna Mutual Benefit Equi table Mutual N.

Then add to that the bigger dividends Union Central pays annually on these policies, and you can’t be juggled into any other company. Union Central Pays Dividends at the End of Second Year, And it’s an EARNED dividend ; we don’t rob you for nineteen years or for life-time to pay dividends to first- * year policy-holders whose entire first premium, and more, has been eaten up by expenses. Would-be Suicides Are not solicited by Union Central. It’s too sacred a trust, this safe-guarding the policy-holders’ money, for us to squander it on hasty suicides. Our chief thoughts are for the sane. Union Central Operates Under Ohio Law The best in the U. S. for protection of policy-holder’interests. Being a “stock company,” its stock-holders’ liability gives double protection. One stockholder nor all of them can invest a dollar of Union Central money except as laid down by the Insurance Commissioner and the Insurance Laws of Ohio. There’s no wild-cat speculation, stock jobbing or “frenzied financiering” in Union Central funds, which accounts for our bigger “surplus percent age” and bigger dividends. And in companies that pay out more than is received on first-year premiums of certain forms of policies—in commissions and other expenses—and still pay a first year dividend on those cheap policies, being “MUTUAL,” it is the other, older policy-holders who have this burden to bear. It’s nice for one year, but how different thereafter! And how hard on those who by a standard, higher priced policy in such companies, and get a divdend so much less than the cheap ones get in their same company. The less you pay ’em, the more you get! The more you pay, the less you get! ( Note the Rates I Note the Facts! Note Everything I For the Most of the Best for the Least, Just Call on , * « CHAS. P. LIGON, District Manager, Gaffney, S. C.
