THE SELMA MIRROR BEMffimmam A. A. FAHNESTOCK, GENERAL LIFE and ACCIDENT INSURANCE SELMA, ALABAMA t' 1 6 0 lhi I 1 1 1 it I SSSti Mr. Fahnestock has the renutation throughout the state and in general Life and Accident Insurance circles of being not only a most successful insurance man from a business standpoint but also of being an expert in all the intricacies of the modern insurance system. This distinction has been attained most justly.

He did not drift into his vocation or adopt it after failing in other lines. When beginning his business career he was attracted to insurance by an appreciation of the great growth it was bound to attain and the intimate connection that would surel" eventuate between it and the general financial interests of the country. He therefore began a comprehensive study of the subject of insurance and with characteristic concentration and thoroughness has never ceased to keep abreast of its manifold developments. As a result, his conclusions and judgment on any insurance proposition command the absolute confidence of his company and policy holders and the respect of even business rivals. These qualifications have naturally brought to Mr.

Fahnestock a large business from the best class of insurers. It is said of him that "once with him, always with him" and perhaps few insurance company's books would show the lines of continuous business that his would show. Mr. Fahnestock takes a deep interest in philosophical, literary and scientific questions and by his studious habits has acquired a large fund of general as well as technical information.
