A Matter of Business
THE DISTRIBUTION OF ONE’S PROPERTY at the end of life’s
journey is as important as Its accumulation.
Men gifted in the art of accumulating wealth are sometimes sin-
gularlv lacking in a proper appreciation of their duty in disposing
cf it/
THE MAKING OF A WILL is an important matter. It should
not be left undone. Every man should write his will and change it
from Mme tn time as circumstances make change advisable.
THE AMERICAN TRUST COMPANY makes a better executor or
trustee than an individual for the reason that IT DOES NOT DIE
find make nercssary the substitution of another. IT IS DISINTER
ESTED and has no favorite". It handle all matters in a purely busi-
ne.s-llke Way. IT IS NO KIN TO THE ESTATE.
IT COSTS NO MORE to have the American Trust Company act
in a trust capacity than it does to have an individual. The com-
a'lon is fixed by law and allowed by the Court.
Our strength insures SAFETY; Our EXPERIENCE, efficiency.
T'nese are some of the reasons why many of the best men m
North Carolina are writing their wills and making the Amorican Trust
Ccmpan> executor and trustee.
