Wage Earner* Pay
Death Claim In
Two Hours
The prompt manner in which the
Wage Earners Life Insurance Co.
paid the claim for a policy I carried
on Floyd Hester makes me in
clined to recommend it to my friends
and to the general public as a
company that is eager to insure you,
to serve you and to pay you.
Within two hours after the death
certificate was filed with the comp
any, a check was presented for the
full payment of the claim. Aside
from the company’s readiness to
pay, the immediate adjustment of
their claims can be credited to the
fact that Miami is the Home Office.
This makes it possble for a claim
to be certified for payment immed
iately, thereby eleminatlng that
waiting period that is necessary for
districts with olLces out of town,
I shall always be grateful to
Wage Earners Life Insurance Co.
for the fair and courteous service I
received in my business relation
with the company.’
