Domestic Life Writes Ordinary Insurance the Domestic Life and Accident Insurance Company which has exceeded the speed limit since it began business in September 1921, is still running true to form. The Company began with the Industrial Health and Accident Insurance; later adding the Industrial Straight Life; and now announces the opening of the Ordinary Department. This last feature enables the Domestic to give the very highest type of protection to its many friends and patrons. Policies are issued in this department on the Endowment, Limited Pay and Whole Life plans; Endowment at age sixty-five and return Premium Option, from $500.00 to $5,000.00. When you take a policy for $5,000.00 or $500.00 and pay just one annual premium or even a quarterly installment thereof, it means that your estate is immediately increased tthat amount. It means that your wife and babies or other dependents will not have ta suffer when you are taken away from them. It means not only protection, but a savings account with interest, which will come back to YOU at a time when you need it most. It means that no one will have to take care of you when you are old, or past a hat around for your dependents when you are gone. A Life Insurance Policy is ready collateral, a permanent asset and a character builder. If you want to increase your assets see a Domestic agent. A policy with the Domestic Life will not only increase your assets, but will double your opportunities to obtain employment that is satisfactory in every respect; for already it has been the means of relieving some of persecutions which they were compelled to undergo in other positions. Moreover, the Domestic Life is an Old Line Life Insurance Company with $100,000 capital and incorporated under the laws of the State of Kentucky, therefore a "Home" Company, making opportunities for our VERY OWN "home" boys; hence deserves your hearty support.
MUCH IN THE RUNNING. MISS ALYCE SIMPSON Frankfort, Ky. Miss Simpson is one of Frankfort's most popular young ladies. She is stenographer in the office of the Supreme Keeper of Records and Seals of the Knights of Pythias. Miss Simpson has been a consistent collector of votes in the Leader "Everybody Wins" campaign and her Frankfort friends say she lacks a long way from being out of the running for the first prize with four more weeks to go. MRS. HESTER MOXLEY Bowling Green, Ky. Mrs. Moxley is the wife of Mr. J. F. Moxley, the well-known Mammoth Life Insurance Superintendent of Bowling Green, and is a leader in church and society circles of that section. Mrs. Moxley has also been a regular vote getter in the Leader's campaign, and with the large following she has, she is yet to be reckoned with when the last vote is counted Tuesday night, May 29.
BANKS CO-OPERATE WITH FORD PURCHASE PLAN "Our decision to cooperate in the Ford Weekly Purchase Plan is simply in line with our general policy to extend every possible service to the citizens of this community," W. H. Wright, president of the American Mutual Savings Bank and Wilson Lovett, President of the First Standard Bank, says relative to the announcement.
"It is an excellent means of promoting thrift, the thing most essential to financial success and the attainment of ambitions.
"For several year now, banks generally have been conducting campaigns urging people to open Christmas Savings Accounts and Vacation Savings Accounts and thousands of persons have done so. In many cases they started with small amounts the first year, but the second year their goal was higher until these savings have mounted into surprising figures.
"The automobile has become a necessity to modern time. It is essential to successful business and it is unequalled as a means of providing pleasure for the family.
"The effect of the Plan is most whole some. It is certain to promote a new feeling toward the automobile and will tend to create a greater regard for automobile ownership.
"So why not save to own an automobile, just as you do for a vavcation or for Christmas? They are all pleasure-giving adventures that cost little or no effort."
Second Period Ends Next Saturday Standing of Candidates Changed Little As Second Period Passes Other Contestants Make First Reports With the second period of the Leader's "Everybody Wins" campaign more than ten days gone, at the close Wednesday evening, and first reporting since the close of the first period Saturday, April 14, the vote collecting up to the hour we went to press this week fell off quite a bit in comparison with the previous weeks. The leaders hardly held their own while those who had been lower in the standing, with perhaps an exception or two, failed to take advantage of the opportunity of catching up. The standing remains about the same as reported last week with one or two exceptions. Mrs. Pearl Guinn of Shelbyville, Ky.; Miss A. C. Bostic of Nashville, Tenn. and Mr. Jesse Landers of Sturgis, Ky., made their first reports this week. The second period of the campaign ends Saturday next, the 6th. The value in votes will again decrease; the one year subscription by 2,500 votes and the five year by 15,000. Candidates are urged to get themselves and friends together for making a record breaking collection of votes for Wednesday and then before the close of the second period next Saturday evening at 8.
