All of its directors am) officers are well acquainted with the management of every detail of the bu ,iness and . n.o investment is made ncr money spent unless passed upon by its Finance Committee, ? Wle have never sought to be clev-i, er, but rather to be diligent and pru- * dent in -the management of our affairs. We have never organized any ^syndicates in order to divert funds of the company for any illegal purposes; nor have we engaged in anv speculative schemes; nor been called into question about any irregularities during our existence; nor have any of our officials ever drawn a Hitna Icept in straight salaries approved by the Insurance Department. The Insurance Denartment of North Carolina. which has made ? regular audit | of our business ever since we began, can testify to this statement. We realize that we are only trustees or [custodians of public funds and our . " 250,000 policyholders and 1.000 rep resentatives can testify to this fact. One of th0 greatest factors in the success of the. North Carolin., tyutual is that it has always held its expenses down year by year in proportion to the growth of the business. . It pays its claims promptly upon presentation of proof, and owes no money on its splendid Home Office build-* inc loented in the heart of the r'*v of Durham, nor on any of its other assets. I Our company can boast of one of the finest groups of employees to be fpund anywhere. trni"?d and ughly imbued with the spirit of cooperation and integrity. 7 Notwithstanding the great interi.aational depression, we are facing tbut very little loss on any of our in| vestmentc for safety has been one of ! of the first consideratins in the management f our company. Our com-. pany has made more rapid progress during the first six months of libit than in anv previous year ?ince 1925. We consider the good will and con! fidence of our policyholders, ^agents and the public one of our greatest assets; and with thirty-tw years of experience.in dealing with the uublir anrl | 'n handling our .own personal affairs, ^ we are better fitted for building a * larger and more serviceable company.
