surance Company, long one of the
pillars of pride of rare business,
colored insurance companies are
making astounding strides for
ward. With the one exception
mentioned, their progress has been
most remarkable during the past

slider among the remainder, and
the onward march of the North
Carolina Mutual, The Liberty Life
of Illinois and the Supreme Cas
ualty of Ohio would be a hard one
for any
of the white companies to
,
equal in a proportionate way.
