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 Cointuissioner S. A. Kozer, Salem, Oregon, show that . , . . was sent of OREGON for life insurance premiums in th , past Ave years . is the total returned here to pay death lossess and dlvl- . dens in the same five years. is the net amount drained out of Oregon In 5 years for life insurance premiums sent to enrich 'Wisconsin, New York and other 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 asset in that market, more than to any other oae factor? Mora money is handled by the Insurance companies than all the transportation companies in the country, and it to the centralization of these immense accumulations in one lo-' cality that makes that locality the seat of the financial ' empire. : .. It is the personal I nterest of every citizen of Oregon to use his Influence that Lite Insurance be bought of OrCg0nfC an tne money kePt lQ Oregon for Oregon's development. . . i .
