Have you ever stopped to think what it would
f <*
have meant to the South if the billions of insurance
money which has been sent to the North and East
could have been kept in the South?
The Southern Life and Ti ust Company of
Greensboro, North Carolina, was one of the first
companies to begin preaching the doctrine of keep
ing the South's money in the South.
. Let us tell you something of what this policy
ion the part of this Home Life Insurance Company
has meant to our own community.
