I-ife Insurance

Company of Indianapolis. To those ol our citizens who have not devoted much of heir attention to the luisine-s of Life In-Minnce, the amount ot money annually drawn from the West, to build up and enrich Eastern companies would seem absolutely astonishintr. The statistics of the business of 1870 show thai over ninety-two millions ol dollars were paid in that year for liie insurance. Of this immense sum, fully one half came from the West, and

considerably m,»re than a million dollars

This tact atlopU «n exulanatioti ol the circumMance tliat money is plen tv in the Eastern States at five per cent., while here it is scarce at ten per cent. Life insurance is universally felt ami seen to be a valuable and beneficial in-tituiion, and is favorably regarded by clear lighted and prudent men everywhere. Men who have a care for heir dependent ones will insure their iives, and it w-isseen by many of our most sagacious und public spirited husinesj jneii, that the only wav to check the immense drain upon our resources was to establish companies in our own midst, which con Id supply the demand for insurance, and difln.se its benefits, without our leimr compelled to send our money out of the State.

It was to this end that the FRANKLIN LIFE INSURANCE COMPANY \va- nr^.inized. In August, 1S(J(, about two hundred ol our best citizens t"ok policies, general Iv tor as targe ail amount, as it was thought a new company could afelv carry, and thus placed the pioneer

In order tocarrv ot.1 the designs ot company more fully, the directors have decided' to establish a branch in each county which shall have a rcl'tilar organization, and make the Fkanklin Lifk

Home Company in the fullest sense, in every county in Indiana. Full details of the plans will be furnished upon application to the office of the company or to any of its agents, and it is desired that within a few months whole State will become fully organized. The directors feel that the advantages of the. plan are such as to commend it to the support of all public spirited citizens ihrought the State, and nil are cordially invitod to join in pushing forward the work.
