The unprecedented prosperity of this Company, as shown by the above table, and its continued rapid
progress, place it at once in the front rank of Life Insurance Companies.

If the above good Companies have succeeded, the greater success of the Piedmont and Arlington, with
so much more favorable a start, is assured beyond any reasonable doubt.
