Just To Remind You
WHEN MONEY is scare 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 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 .
