Just 7o Remind You
WHEN MONEY Is . s care general stagnation sets in with
its resultant disasters to every line of business, to every
profession, and every wage-earner. It Is therefore to your
interest to help make money plentiful in Oregon yy simply
keeping It here. The' sworn statements of life insurance
companies on file with State Insurance Commissioner S. :
A. Kozer, Salem. Oregon, show that
was sent of OREGON for life insurance premiums in the
past Ave years -
is the total returned here to pay death lossess and dlvl- '
dens in the same five years. ' v
is the net amount drained out of Oregon In 5 years for
life insurance premiums sent to enrich Wisconsin, New
York and oth,er states by making THEIR home' companies .
the custodians of these trusts funds from Oregon. Does
anyone doubt that the commercial supremacy of' New
York is due to the centralization of the Insurance assets "
in that market, more than to any other one factor? More
money is handled by the insurance companies ; than all "
the transportation compnnles In the country, and It Is the
centralization of these immense accumulations In one lo
cality that makes that locality the seat or the financial
empire. '" .' v ,.. , .
, It Is the personal interest of every citizen of Oregon
to use his Influence that Life Insurance be bought of
QrCgOnflfC an(l the money kept In Oregon ror Oregon's
development.',
