Historical Sketch

1905	On November 3, Southeastern Life Insurance Company was chartered with offices at 47 Morgan Street in Spartanburg, South Carolina.
1910	In March, Southeastern moved their headquarters to Greenville, South Carolina.
1919	On October 13, W. Frank Hipp, a former Southeastern agent, established the Liberty Life Insurance Company, with its home office in Greenville, South Carolina.
1926	Liberty Life had almost $6 million insurance in force.
1929	With the help of his long-time associate H. L. Vogel, Hipp had built the new firm into the one of the largest weekly premium insurance companies in the nation by this time. The company had $28 million insurance in force.
1930	In January, Liberty Life absorbed the Great American Life Insurance Company, and later that year, Charleston's People's Life became part of Liberty Life.
1930	In November, Liberty Life purchased radio station WIS in Columbia, South Carolina. (Liberty Life briefly owned three other radio stations during the 1930s: WCSC in Charleston, South Carolina; WTFI in Athens, Georgia; and WNOX in Knoxville, Tennessee.)
1930	Hipp created the new Independence Insurance Company to handle a small line of health and accident insurance that had become unpopular with Liberty agents
1931	In March, Hipp rescued Southeastern Life Insurance Company from financial ruin when he purchased the controlling interest of the company from the huge Tennessee investment firms of Caldwell and Company who went bankrupt.
1933	A joint management team brought Southeastern Life and The Liberty Life together. W. Frank Hipp served as president of both while the companies continued to operate separately.
1935	Liberty Life had $30.8 million insurance in force.
1939	In October, Liberty Life reached its twentieth anniversary goal of $75 million insurance in force with $5 million in sales.
1941	Southeastern and The Liberty Life merged as one company, Liberty Life Insurance Company, with W. Frank Hipp as president. Most of the insurance business was consolidated under Southeastern's 1905 charter. The real estate and broadcasting holdings were placed under the newly named Surety Life Life Insurance Company, which retained the 1919 charter of Liberty Life.
1943	On January 3, W. Frank Hipp died.
1943	On January 29, The Board of Directors voted Francis M. Hipp to succeed his father as president of Liberty Life and made his brother, Herman N. Hipp, the company's vice president and director.
1947	On April 2, Francis Hipp announced the purchase of radio station WSPA in Spartanburg, South Carolina for $450,000.
1948	On January 12, radio station WIST signed on from studios on the second floor of the Liberty Life Building in downtown Charlotte, North Carolina.

At that time, only 80 of the almost 1,400 life insurance firms in the United States were at that elite level. Equally remarkable was that the billion-dollar figure had been achieved by matching the sales total of the company's first 47 years in only the 7 years between the spring of 1952 and the early months of 1959.
1959	BCS purchased its first acquisition outside the Carolinas, WSFA-TV of Montgomery, Alabama.

1968	Thanks to an exceptional sales effort, Liberty Life ended the year with over $2.5 billion of life insurance in force.

In addition to being a community leader, Francis Hipp was active within many business and professional organizations. He served as chairman of the State Development Board from 1959-1963. His time in the position coincided with vast economic growth, as a record number of industries came to South Carolina. He was also a member of the South Carolina Research Authority. Francis Hipp, along with H. William Close, helped to establish the University of South Carolina Business Partnership Foundation.

Record Group 2 Record Group 2: Southeastern Life Insurance Company Records 1905-1983 (Bulk, 1910-1942) 20.8 cubic feet including 26 volumes, 99 oversize volumes, an oversize charter, and an oversize photograph and negative. Corporate History Southeastern Life Insurance Company was chartered November 3, 1905 with offices at 47 Morgan Street, Spartanburg, South Carolina. At the first Stockholder's meeting L.E. Carrington, J.B. Cleveland, Elliott Estes, Sr., W.S. Montgomery, J.A. Law, S.J. Simpson, Aug W. Smith, A.H. Twichell, A.L. White, and Giles W. Wilson were elected to the Board of Directors. Elliott Estes was elected company President and Giles W. Wilson Secretary/ Treasurer. Their salaries were $4,000 and $2,000 respectively. The first policy was issued to John Adger Law, for $5,000, on December 15. By year's end, 1906, insurance in force was $1,268,175. The first death claim, for $10,000, was received in October, 1907. The company operated quite successfully through the next decade including World War I by means of a dynamic sales force and wise financial management despite distracting changes in leadership and losses from death claims due to influenza rather than from war casualties. In 1910, the decision was made to move the company's headquarters to Greenville, SC. There, construction of The Southeastern Building, at the corner of Main and Broad Streets, began in 1914 and was completed in 1915. In 1919, a former Southeastern agent by the name of W. Frank Hipp established The Liberty Life Insurance Company. Southeastern and Liberty, each to have a dramatic effect on the other in later years, were thus in competition for the same business from the citizens of Greenville. A majority of Southeastern stock was purchased by a Louisville, KY company in 1929, and guaranteed by a Nashville, TN company which later failed. Control of Southeastern was subsequently purchased by the Southeastern Corporation of Greenville in 1930. By 1931, Southeastern entered into a repurchase agreement with Liberty Life because of rising loans and bonds. Again, leadership changes came about as a result of certain financial situations, and W. Frank Hipp, already President of Liberty Life, was elected President of Southeastern. The two companies remained separate, but with single leadership, for yet another ten years until 1941. On October 30, 1941, at a Board of Directors meeting, the idea of consolidating Southeastern and Liberty was presented by President Hipp and referred to the Executive Committee for study. At the November 7th Executive Committee meeting it was proposed that "the Southeastern and Liberty Life Companies enter into an agreement to reinsure the Ordinary and Industrial business of The Liberty Life Insurance Company." Included was a motion to change the corporate name of Southeastern Life Insurance Company to Liberty Life Insurance Company. On November 11, the report of the Executive Committee was approved. On the 25th, the Reinsurance Agreement by and between Southeastern and Liberty was read and approved, and it was resolved that the charter be amended by changing the corporate name to Liberty Life Insurance Company. A suggestion that the Independence Insurance Company amend its charter to change the name of the corporation to Southeastern, after January 1, 1941, was also approved. On December 11, the Finance Committee authorized purchase of the Liberty Life Building, opposite the Greenville County Court House, from Independence for $250,000. At a special meeting of Southeastern Stockholders, December 30, the following was adopted: "Be it resolved that the charter of this corporation be amended by changing the corporate name to Liberty Life Insurance Company." On January 1, 1942, the history of Southeastern Life Insurance Company and The Liberty Life Insurance Company became the prologue to the history of Liberty Life Insurance Company, Greenville, South Carolina. Southeastern Life Insurance Company remained viable, if semi-impotent, until 1968 when dissolution procedures were initiated, and was finally dissolved in 1971. Scope and Contents The Southeastern Life Insurance Company Records span the time period of 1905 to 1983. The bulk of the material dates from 1910 to 1942. There are 153 folders of material in seven document boxes, 26 volumes in three record center boxes and one ½ document box, 99 oversize volumes (88 volumes are in 10 oversize boxes), and an oversize charter. They consist of by-laws, a charter, correspondence, contracts, employee and training manuals, memos, personal papers, policy specimens, rate books, reinsurance agreements, reports, tax returns and other tax information, and other material; and oversize material in the form of agent/agency registers, annual statements, cash books, journals, ledgers, a photograph with negative, policy registers, trial balance books, and stock certificates. Included in this record group are such documents as Agent Contracts, Dissolution papers, Group Insurance, Liberty Life Merger papers, Policies and policy samples, Reconstruction Finance Corporation papers, Repurchase Agreements, various State Insurance Department papers, and State Tax Returns. These records are a valuable source of information for charting the development and related history of the insurance industry in twentieth-century South Carolina. Reinsurance Agreements account for a majority of the non-volume records in this record group. They document Southeastern's management strategies through agreements entered into and contracts made with various reinsurance companies to spread the risk of potential insurance loss. Southeastern contracted or made agreements with twenty-six separate companies for reinsurance, doing so several times with many. These records document Southeastern's reinsurance activities from 1907 to 1936. They also include documentation on the amount of reinsurance paid from 1925 to 1950. By definition, reinsurance is "the transaction whereby the insurer, for a consideration, agrees to indemnify the ceding company (the reinsured) against all or part of the loss which the latter may sustain under the policy or policies which it has issued." In other words, reinsurance is a form of insurance that insurance companies purchase from other insurance companies and is done to reduce the possible maximum loss on either an individual risk or a group of risks. The bulk of the collection, however, is made up of financial volumes of various types (Annual Statements, Cash Books, Journals, Disbursement Ledgers, Stock Certificate Books, and Trial Balance Books), with most of the volumes dating between 1906 and 1950. These volumes document the company's financial transactions, often on a monthly basis. They are important for understanding Southeastern's growth and development, especially for the period between its founding in 1905 to its consolidation with the Liberty Life Insurance Company in 1941. Other records vital for a better understanding of Southeastern's business activities over the years, both in-house and out, are represented by Contracts with general agents, including W. Frank Hipp, 1905-1934; Southeast and South Carolina State Tax Returns, 1927-1936; intercession of the Reconstruction Finance Corporation during the Depression years, 1932-1933; and Insurance Department conditions for Alabama, Georgia, Mississippi, Tennessee, and West Virginia, 1925-1964. Important records documenting the company's insurance products are embodied in the pioneering issuance of Group Insurance for workers of the Alice, Easley, and Franklin Mills, 1916; Policies issued covering the lives of private individuals as well as early presidents of Southeastern Life, 1912-1925; and samples of specimen policies for the same dates. Also included is a facsimile of the first policy the company issued to John Adger Law on December 15, 1905 for $5,000. Records particular to Southeastern and its special, inseparable connection with Liberty Life Insurance Company are the Repurchase Agreements of 1931-1935; the Merger of 1941; and Southeastern's Dissolution, 1968-1971. Included with this record group are two letters whose content are not especially important but are quite unique as objects because they were typed on cloth stationary. The letters were typed on cloth for two reasons, according to captions at the bottom of each: to celebrate Southeastern's Silver Anniversary, 1905-1930, and interestingly enough, to help the textile situation during the Depression. Other major correspondents with these records include the Alice, Easley, and Franklin Cotton Mills; Atlantic, Florida, Home Fund, International, Inter-Southern, Jefferson Standard, Kentucky Home, Liberty, Lincoln National, Metropolitan, Missouri State, Pittsburgh, and Southwestern Life Insurance Companies; the Cologne and Mercury Reinsurance, and North American Reassurance Companies; the Southern Surety Company; and such individuals as Charles W. Estes, C.B. Flesher, Walter F. Going, W. Frank Hipp, William E. Holbrook, Joseph C. Long, M.H. Mullins, L.M. Rice, and W.G. Southern. The oversize items include 99 financial volumes, a 1983 copy of Southeastern's charter (the original is filed in the South Carolina Department of Archives and History), and a photograph of the Southeastern Life Building, which was located at South Main at Broad Street in Greenville, South Carolina, with a negative of the same.

Record Group 3.1 Record Group 3.1: Liberty Life Insurance Company Legal Department Records 1912-1981 11.75 cubic feet including oversize items and photographs. Agency History The development of the Legal Department is an outgrowth of the office of the in-house attorney, or general counsel. Wyatt Aiken (ca. 1930-1933) was the first person to hold this position. In June 1931, Robert R. Scales, Jr. joined the management team of The Liberty Life Insurance Company, and his career (1931-1977) is a barometer of the ever-increasing importance of the Legal Department in Liberty's operations. His correspondence and working papers are prominent throughout this record sub-group. By the early 1950's, attorneys G. H. Cleveland and John W. Lindsay had joined Scales at Liberty Life. R. E. McDonald, Vice-President for Claims, was also involved in legal decision making. In 1971, legal services from all subsidiaries under the direction of David W. Robinson II. In 1975, R. Glenn Hilliard succeeded Robinson as department chief with the title of Legal Vice-President and Secretary. After Hilliard became president of Liberty Life Insurance Company in 1981, Martha G. Williams was named to head the Legal Department. Scope and Content The Legal Department not only provided services in settling disputed claims but also gave counsel and advice for a broad spectrum of corporate management. Such activities as the acquisition and sale of subsidiaries, personnel problems, the creation of pension plans, income tax matters, and negotiations with state and federal governmental agencies were all in the purview of the Legal Department. These files contain information on competitor insurance companies and portray the difficulties in obtaining radio and TV station licenses. Particularly interesting are the early records, which help document the careers of W. Frank Hipp, Henry Vogel, and G. Richard Shafto. As a note of caution, the eight different Surety Series present a potentially confusing situation to researcher, as the word "Surety" was used as a catch-all to name various Hipp family-controlled satellite corporations. Doyle Bogg's The Liberty Spirit: History of The Liberty Corporation (1986) deals with the origins of Surety (see especially p. 41). A separate reference file entitled "Surety" exists in RG 11.4, The Liberty Corporation Archives. Arrangement The arrangement of this collection is by record series according to the specific corporation. Within each series, the records are organized in an alphabetical subject file. Provenance These records were transferred to The Liberty Corporation Archives from the Legal Department in 1982 and 1983. This collection is comprised to accessions 82-53, 82-55, and 83-22. Processing Information Susan Hult processed these records in 1985. The material was accessioned by Special Collections as accession 94-54. Kristina Cathcart reboxed the records in 1999. This register was drafted by Joey Keaton in 1986 and revised by Bryan F. McKown in 1987 and James Cross in 2000.

Series 5: Independence Insurance Company 1915-1961 0.7 cubic feet Description This series consists of board minutes, correspondence, legal briefs, and samples of insurance policies. It documents the records of many court cases, including a suit against The Independent Life and Accident Insurance Company of Florida. Correspondents in this series include William F. Anderson, S.W. Crews, William F. Evans, and W. Frank Hipp. Corporate History Founded by W. Frank Hipp and chartered in 1930, Independence Insurance Company immediately reinsured the sickness and accident business of The Liberty Life and thereby assumed those lines of insurance. Additionally, Independence also sold industrial life insurance targeted to a low-income, primarily African-American, clientele. From December 1931 until January 1942, Independence also owned the Chamber of Commerce Building (also known as the Insurance Building) in downtown Greenville. In December 1938, Independence sold all of its life insurance business to Southeastern Life Insurance Company. In 1956, Independence became a wholly-owned subsidiary of The Surety Life Insurance Company, another Hipp-family controlled enterprise. As part of the reorganization of the various Surety companies, Independence changed its name to The Surety Insurance Company in December 1961.

Record Group 3.2 Record Group 3.2: The Liberty Life Pre-Corporation Records 1900-1986 (Bulk, 1933-1967) 47.0 cubic feet including 760 folders in 66 boxes, 183 volumes (73 oversize), 16 oversize boxes, 2 oversize folders, and 3 photographs. Corporate History On November 3, 1905, a new enterprise, Southeastern Life Insurance Company, came into existence in Spartanburg, South Carolina. Fourteen years later on October 13, W. Frank Hipp, a former agent of that company, established a new company, Liberty Life Insurance Company, in Greenville, South Carolina. In 1933, Hipp became president of both companies, which continued to operate separately. However, on January 1, 1942, the insurance companies were consolidated under the name of Liberty Life Insurance Company, with Hipp as president. W. Frank Hipp died on January 3, 1943. On January 29, The Board of Directors voted Francis M. Hipp to succeed his father as president of Liberty Life and made his brother, Herman N. Hipp, the company's vice president and director. Liberty Life Insurance Company became one of the subsidiaries of a new holding company, The Liberty Corporation, on December 1, 1967. The other subsidiaries included Cosmos Broadcasting Corporation, Surety Investment Company, and Liberty Properties, Inc. In addition, a new subsidiary, Liberty Investors Benefit Insurance (LIBCO), was organized for the purpose of writing individual and group variable annuity contracts. Scope and Content Note Included in this sub-record group are booklets, correspondence, financial reports, statements and worksheets, manuals, memoranda, minutes of meetings, legal documents, organizational charts, reports, speeches, and other material. These records document the history of Liberty Life Insurance Company's development from 1900 to 1986, with the majority of the material dating from 1933-1967. This sub-record group is divided into two series: Administrative Files and Committees and Task Forces. Both are arranged alphabetically by folder title and then chronologically within each folder. Series 1, Administrative Files consists primarily of materials related to different aspects of the insurance business. Annual statements, budget reports, and other financial records document how the insurance company progressed financially from its founding until becoming part of the Liberty Corporation. Much of this financial information relates to real estate investments such as the Gresham Hotel in Spartanburg, SC and the Liberty Life Building in Greenville, SC, as well as the Company's involvement in the Utopian Developing Company. Material on strategic planning can be found in this series; also analyses of insurance operations, employee opinion surveys, examination reports, and long-range plans. Records of the Home Office, as well as those of various branch offices, departments, and divisions are filed in this series and document the day-to-day operations of the Company. There are numerous letters and memoranda from W. Frank, Francis, Boyd, and Herman Hipp, as well as correspondence and other material relating to Lockwood Greene Engineers, Inc., who were constructing the new Home Office Building (later the Liberty Corporation headquarters) in 1966-1967. Rate book and training manuals are part of this series, as are samples of insurance policies and promotional material. In addition, there is information on contests run by the Company to improve sales among the agents, direct mail underwriting for life insurance and hospital coverage, gas rationing as it affected the Company during World War II, reinsurance, and war clauses in insurance policies for World War II and the Korean War. Also included is material on the National Merit Scholarship Corporation, with whom Liberty Life sponsored an annual scholarship. Finally, there are some records on the history of Liberty Life and speeches from various meetings and conferences. Series 2, Committees and Task Forces contain a variety of financial reports, statements and worksheets, memoranda, minutes of meetings, and reports related to a number of different committees and task forces. The majority of the material in this series is from the Executive Council and the Finance, Insurance, and Investment Committees. Materials in the Finance and Investment Committees files record how the executives handled the business transactions and investments of Liberty Life Insurance Company. The records of the Executive Council document what topics-such as mergers, policy loan interest rates, insurance plans, and costs-affecting the company its executives discussed. Many of the records concerning the creation of the Liberty Corporation can be found here. The files of the Insurance Committee not only deal with routine company policies and procedures regarding insurance but the creation of new products and services as well. Finally, there is material on committees that handled the daily operations and procedures of Liberty Life Insurance Company, such as the Accounting and Methods, Advertising and Public Relations, Agency, and Operations Committees, with the latter documenting the changeover to the Liberty Corporation. Oversize materials include contest posters; financial records such as annual statements and ledgers; policies from other companies that were reinsured by Liberty Peoples Life Insurance Company (Charleston, SC), The Home Insurance Company (Charleston, SC), Germania Life Insurance Company (Charleston, SC); landscaping studies for the new Home Office Building Main Floor Terrace and the Japanese gardens on the fourth floor; organizational charts; and a painting of the proposed Home Office Building. Other material related to Liberty Life Insurance Company can be found in the records of Francis M. Hipp (RG 1), the Legal Department of Liberty Life Insurance Company (RG 3.1), Liberty Life Insurance Company Post Corporation Records (RG 3.3), W. Frank Hipp (RG 4), Boyd Calhoun Hipp (RG 5), Herman Hipp (RG 6), all five sub-record groups of the Communications Department (RG 8), and all four sub-record groups of The Liberty Corporation (RG 11).

Record Group 3.3 Record Group 3.3: The Liberty Life Post-Corporation Records 1962-1992 36.875 cubic feet including 790 folders in 82 document boxes, 2 oversize folders, and 33 photographs. Corporate History On November 3, 1905, a new enterprise, Southeastern Life Insurance Company, came into existence in Spartanburg, South Carolina. Fourteen years later on October 13, W. Frank Hipp, a former agent of that company, established a new company, Liberty Life Insurance Company, in Greenville, South Carolina. In 1933, Hipp became president of both companies, which continued to operate separately. However, on January 1, 1942, the insurance companies were consolidated under the name of Liberty Life Insurance Company, with Hipp as president. W. Frank Hipp died on January 3, 1943. On January 29, The Board of Directors voted Francis M. Hipp to succeed his father as president of Liberty Life and made his brother, Herman N. Hipp, the company's vice president and director. Liberty Life Insurance Company became one of the subsidiaries of a new holding company, The Liberty Corporation, on December 1, 1967. The other subsidiaries included Cosmos Broadcasting Corporation, Surety Investment Company, and Liberty Properties, Inc. In addition, a new subsidiary, Liberty Investors Benefit Insurance (LIBCO), was organized for the purpose of writing individual and group variable annuity contracts. Thanks to an exceptional sales effort, Liberty Life ended 1968 with over $2.5 billion of life insurance in force. Also during that year, a leading management consulting firm examined the structure of the insurance company. As a result of that study, Liberty Life made administrative changes that resulted in the naming of six new Vice Presidents in the functional areas of Insurance Operations, Investments, and Administration. In 1969 W. Hayne Hipp, son of Francis Hipp, became assistant vice president of Liberty Life. The insurance company introduced two completely new lines of policies, "The Sentinel Plan" and the "Thrift Series". Created for young family purchasers, Sentinel offered a minimum of $10,000 insurance coverage with an accompanying fast accumulation of cash values resulting in high savings at retirement age. The Thrift Series was a unique variation of typical weekly premium and monthly debit ordinary policies, which included many of the beneficial features of modern, regular ordinary policies such as modes of premium payment adjustable to changing income levels. These new products helped to improve and expand the ordinary and group departments, and by the end of the 1960s, Liberty Life was licensed in 24 states and Puerto Rico. The insurance company saw a number of changes in the 1970s. The traditional industrial insurance had faded out by the beginning of the decade, but the debit system and the weekly collection option continued to exist, and customers now purchased a variation on the typical ordinary life contract. In 1970 the Combination Department experienced significant success in selling a new cancer expense policy and the Group Department introduced a new program of group life, disability income and comprehensive medical care protection primarily for groups of 10 to 49 persons. The Ordinary Department formed a securities, broker-dealer operation to sell a combination of insurance and mutual funds in 1971. The personnel of the insurance company's Securities Department were assigned to a new, wholly owned investment-counseling subsidiary of the holding company, Liberty Investment Management Corporation (LIMCO). In 1973 Liberty Life arrived at $4 billion of insurance in force. By 1975 Liberty Life was in the top five per cent of the insurance companies in the United States in terms of insurance in force. During that year the popular Thrift line of debit insurance was revised to provide increased amounts of protection to match rising incomes among working people. Also, the Combination agents began marketing a new Special Monthly Custom Series, which combined the personal contact elements of home service policies with the increased protection of Ordinary plans. Both of these lines helped the insurance company during the economic troubles of the mid-1970s. By this time Liberty Life Insurance Company faced more competition in the insurance market from the increasing number of out-of-state insurance companies chartered to operate in South Carolina. In addition, there was growing criticism of the insurance industry from a variety of sources, including the Federal Trade Commission, the United States Senate Judiciary Committee, the South Carolina Legislature Audit Council, and the news media. In an effort to maintain a favorable corporate image, the company launched a major public relations program, "Have a Good Life", in 1977. This campaign, which ran through 1981, encouraged people to take charge of their lives and improve their health. On March 1, 1977 Herman N. Hipp became president and chief executive officer of The Liberty Corporation. He succeeded his brother, Francis M. Hipp, who retired from that office but continued to serve as chairman of the board of directors and the executive committee. Harris P. Gravely became president and chief executive officer of Liberty Life Insurance Company, and Hayne Hipp was promoted to be its executive vice president. At the beginning of October 1977, Liberty Life purchased United Fidelity Life Insurance Company of Dallas, Texas. On January 1, 1978 Liberty Properties, Inc. was merged into Liberty Life and became a division of its Investment Department. And in 1978 Hayne Hipp was elected as Vice Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of The Liberty Corporation and Chairman of Liberty Life. In 1978 a marketing study led to the establishment of 75 new projects to be completed by 1980 to meet changing market conditions. One of the new products that came out in 1981 was the "ANSWER", a universal life policy which credited current interest rates and allowed for varying insurance needs of policyholders through flexibility in premium payments and the amount of coverage. With this flexibility, the policyholder rarely needed to switch or add policies, therefore avoiding additional first-year acquisition charges. In 1982 R. Glen Hilliard and Richard W. Campanaro were promoted to President and Vice President of Liberty Life. Proving to be unprofitable, United Fidelity Life Insurance Company was sold that same year. In 1984 Liberty Life reached $10 billion insurance in force, and in the next year, when the company celebrated its 80th Anniversary, it topped at $11 billion insurance in force. At the end of 1986, Liberty Life enlarged and strengthened its Career Agency Marketing division by acquiring Southern Life Insurance Company in Greensboro, North Carolina. In 1987 the insurance company sold its group insurance operations, and then enhanced its Specialized Marketing Division with the purchase of Triad Life Insurance Company of Winston-Salem, North Carolina in 1989. By the end of the 1980s, Liberty Life Insurance Company, with $15.7 billion of life insurance in force, was among the largest 5% of stock life insurance companies in America, and was licensed in 46 states and the District of Columbia. During the early 1990s Liberty Life Insurance Company purchased several pre-need and home services companies which were later sold. In February 1999 The Liberty Corporation announced that it was considering a variety of restructuring alternatives that would actively support the business objectives of its operating subsidiaries and enhance value for shareholders. In May of that year, The Corporation hired Goldman Sachs to look at possible separation of its businesses or other restructuring. On March 20, 2000 Liberty Life Insurance Company announced that it would expand its insurance administration services in Canada through an exclusive agreement with CAS Accounting for Insurance Inc. Soon after this came the announcement, on June 19, 2000, that The Liberty Corporation was selling its insurance operations (Liberty Life Insurance and Liberty Insurance Services Corporation) and its real estate holdings (including the headquarters building in Greenville, South Carolina) to the Royal Bank of Canada for $650 million. In addition, The Corporation announced its plan to merge Cosmos Broadcasting with Jackson, Mississippi based Civic Communications, under which The Corporation would pay Civic $204 million in cash. On November 1, 2000, the sales agreement between The Liberty Corporation and the Royal Bank of Canada was completed, and the Hipp family no longer owned Liberty Life Insurance Company.

Series 2: Committees and Task Forces 1967-1990 (Bulk, 1970-1984) 23.25 cubic feet consisting of 53 document boxes, 1 oversize folder and 33 photographs. Description Included in this series are a variety of financial reports and statements, inter-office correspondence (mainly memos), meeting minutes, and reports. These records show in detail how the company developed and expanded as a subsidiary of The Liberty Corporation from 1967 through the late 1980s. Much of the material in this series belongs to the Finance and Investment Committees. The Finance Committee (1968-1989) handled the business transactions of the insurance company. Included in the records are minutes of the meetings, reports of mortgage loan applications, security analysis and recommendations for various stocks and bonds, schedules (reports or summaries) of security transactions, cash flow statements, underwriting worksheets, summaries of capital gains and losses, and some memos. There is information related to projects of the Liberty Property Group, as well as Liberty Advisors, Inc. and Southern Life Insurance Company. The minutes for the years 1979-1982 are missing. Material in the Investment Committee (1967-1990), which oversaw the company’s investments, include minutes of the meetings, cash statements, group maturities, group commitments, bank balances, mortgage loan reports, fixed income securities, stock transactions, and weekly investment letters. The common stock reports contain information on common stock portfolio performances, monthly common stock reports, common stock basic data, common stock recommendations, quarterly warrant reports, and convertible bond reports from 1967-1969. In 1990 the Investment and Finance Committees merged; the records of the “new” Investment Committee contain cash statements, meeting minutes, memos, mortgage loan applications reports, mortgage loan activity reports, performance histories, and schedules of security transactions, as well as reports on bond purchases, fixed income swap transactions, and other invested assets. There is some information concerning Liberty Capital Investors, Inc. Memos in the Management Committee’s (1967-1982) files cover such topics as a proposal to encourage greater utilization of settlement option provisions in Liberty Life’s policies, the merger of Cosmos Broadcasting Corporation and The Liberty Corporation, interest under settlement options, policy loan interest rates, reserves on thrift policies, the LOMA Inter-Company Cost Comparison Analysis, the future of The Southeastern Life Insurance Company, and recommended changes to the group insurance plan. Some of the topics covered in the minutes include Southeastern, the LOMA analysis, the Direct Marketing Plan, the Operations Improvement Program, the Health Maintenance Program—Carolina Health and Medical Plan (CHAMP), a proposed Combination Basic Training Program, Ordinary Agency Department Plans, affirmative action, and policy loan interest rates. Also included is the 1979-1981 Strategic and Tactical Plans Report and an attitude survey. Memos in the Insurance Committee’s (1970-1975) files are concerned with the routine matters of Liberty Life’s policies and procedures regarding insurance. An ordinary lapse study and an inventory of job attitudes are filed within these memos. Some of the topics discussed in the meeting minutes are revisions of the Salary Savings Plan, Family Plan Conversions, Ordinary Agency Department Expansion Plans, the Ordinary System Quality Control Program, ACP rule changes, and the job attitudes inventory. Task forces under this committee dealt with specific issues, such as Fair Credit Reporting, the ACP rule changes, the Operation Extra Protection Campaign, Thrift Savings Plans, the Emergency Draft Policy, the Ordinary Rate Book, Operation “Automatic Ordinary,” Policy Loan Agreements, and Incentive Underwriting; their minutes are part of the Committee’s records. The memos of the Operations Committee (1968-1984) cover such topics as reviews of policy changes, Universal Life Plan and Universal Life Salary Savings. The minutes of the meetings are concerned with such items as the Thrift Extra Income Hospital Policy, privacy legislation, variable loan and policy loan interest rates, the branch office mail analysis report, Universal Life, the status report on the marketing study, policy amendments and task force reports. The Marketing Committee (1977-1983) handled all phases of Liberty Life’s marketing. Meeting minutes include discussions of underwriting practices, a Long Term Disability Reinsurance Treaty with Combined Insurance Company of America, a Minimum Premium Plan for Dan River Mills, the Ordinary Department’s Profitability Study and Long-range Plan, the Liberty Life Marketing Plan, and the LIMA Marketing Study, as well as branch office profitability reports and reviews of budget projections. Other topics reflected in these records include the Combination Department’s Long-range Plans, Socio-Economic Underwriting, and Universal Life Products. There are also some analyses of insurance operations and a FTC Life Insurance Questionnaire. The Products Development Committee (1975-1980) was responsible for maintaining a modern and up-to-date series of complete and competitive products. The committee’s inter-office correspondence consists of memos where such topics as the Premium Deposit Fund, the Voluntary Tax Sheltered Deferred Compensation Plan, the Thrift Cancer Policy, policy loan interest rates, savings and loan profitability (a report on this is included in the records), and making changes in the new Thrift Rate Book are discussed. Items covered in the minutes of the meetings include the proposed Individual Retirement Annuity (IRA) product, the Thrift Rate Book, and the proposed Consumer Insurance Information and Fairness Act. The memos of the Retirement Committee (1967-1974) cover such topics as group life and estate taxes, rules from retirement plans, Liberty Life Group Health Coverage, fringe benefits plan comparisons, the employee benefits program, and the Pension Reform Act. Subjects covered by the minutes include disability, the profit-sharing plan (including distribution and formula proposals), forfeitures, and the employee benefits program. In 1975 the Retirement Committee became the Employee Benefits Committee. Included in the Committee (1975-1982) records are memos covering such topics as group plan revisions, disability benefits, profit sharing conversions and formula proposals, supplemental group life plans, Career Handbook revisions, a proposal to include Piedmont Health Care HMO in Liberty’s Medical Benefits Plan, and a Disability Study. Some of the policies and plans mentioned include the Pregnancy Disability and Leave of Absence Policy, the Group Voluntary Accident Insurance Plan, the Deferred Compensation Plan, and the Long-term Disability Plan. The minutes deal with such topics as altering the pension plan, amendments to and proposed formulas for the Profit-sharing Plan, and the Amendments to the Liberty Welfare Plan concerning age discrimination, a ban on pregnancy discrimination, and South Carolina group conversions. The Profit-sharing Committee (1973-1982) was responsible for Liberty Life’s Profit-sharing Trust or Plan in which the employees participated. Some of the topics covered in the minutes include the status of or changes in investments, the profit-sharing formula, increasing benefits for retired employees, re-evaluation of the trust, the portfolio strategy, the profit-sharing investment policy, profit-sharing conversion rates, and the review performance profile. Also in this series is material on committees that handled the daily operations and procedures of the insurance company such as advertising/public relations campaigns, communications, customer service, data processing, internal control. Two important campaigns documented here are the Health Hazard Appraisal Campaign (forms which helped people to figure out the status of their health) and the Liberty Life Print Campaign (free-fall inserts with nutrition scoreboards on the front and advertisements on the back which were circulated in newspapers or distributed by employees). In addition, this series contains the records of different task forces that dealt with a variety of issues such as computerization, equities, general agency marketing, investment, pensions, reducing corporate expenditures, Southern Life, and Universal life insurance. Oversize items include two plans, and a 1967 listing of securities owned by the Liberty Life Insurance Company. There are also 33 photographs of different properties owned by Liberty Life Insurance Company.

Record Group 4 Record Group 4: W. Frank Hipp Papers 1885-1970 3.33 cubic feet including six volumes, a line drawing, photographs (one oversize), and oversize material Biographical Note W. Frank Hipp was born on August 24, 1889 in Greenwood County, South Carolina, the son of John Calhoun and Alice Pathena Wheeler Hipp. He was educated in the Newberry County public school system and graduated with honors from Newberry College in 1907, doing post-graduate work in economics at Vanderbilt University from 1907-1909. In 1911 he became a general agent for the Pacific Mutual Life Insurance Company in Newberry, and in 1912 he became a general agent in Spartanburg for the Southeastern Life Insurance Company. He contracted tuberculosis in 1916 and spent the next two years in Newberry, Aiken, and in North Carolina recovering his health. Hipp then moved to Greenville where he opened a textile securities investment office in 1918. According to Southeastern Life Insurance Company records he remained employed with the company as a general agent until 1919. In that year, on October 13 ^th, he and a group of investors founded The Liberty Life Insurance Company, a weekly premium insurance business; Hipp was named as its president. The Liberty Life Insurance Company began selling ordinary life insurance in 1923 and by 1929 had reached $1 million in premium income. In November of the following year Hipp purchased Columbia radio station WIS and by 1932 also owned WCSC in Charleston. The year 1930 also saw the creation of Independence Insurance Company to sell health and accident insurance to low income and African-American workers. Hipp gained controlling interest in the Southeastern Life Insurance Company in 1931 after the failure of Roger Clark Caldwell's Bank of Tennessee and Associated Life Companies in 1930; he was elected the company's president in 1933. The Independence Insurance Company transferred all of its life insurance business to Southeastern Life and suspended selling health and accident insurance, ceasing operations in 1939. In that same year Southeastern's insurance in force reached $52.3 million and The Liberty Life had $75 million of insurance in force and $5 million in sales. The Liberty Life Insurance Company and Southeastern Life operated independently until January 1942, when they were merged under the new name of Liberty Life Insurance Company. Southeastern had already begun selling weekly premium insurance in 1940 and that same year Hipp purchased the First National Bank Building in Charlotte, North Carolina, the last asset of the "old" Southeastern Life Insurance Company. Hipp purchased 25% of The Liberty Life stock held outside of his immediate family. All of the debit business of the Liberty Life was transferred to Southeastern's 1905 charter and was reorganized into the industrial division of the new company. The Liberty Life ceased to sell insurance but remained an active company under the name of Surety Life Insurance Company, which retained certain paid-up life insurance, some real estate and the two radio stations as assets. It also received an annual payment of 5% of the premiums collected by the industrial division of the new Liberty Life. Hipp married Eunice Jane Halfacre on December 29, 1909 and they had five children: Francis M., Herman Neel, Boyd Calhoun, William Hayne and Dorothy Hipp. They separated in 1936. He married Frances McFayden on December 4, 1941 and they had one child, Jean Gail. Hipp served on the Trinity Lutheran Church council, was active in the Lutheran Synod of South Carolina, was a member of Newberry College Board of Trustees, president of the Association of Insurance Companies of the Carolinas, and director of the Greenville Community Chest. W. Frank Hipp died of a heart attack on January 3, 1943 in Greenville. Scope and Content Note The W. Frank Hipp Papers (Record Group 4 of the Liberty Corporation Archives) contains bills, canceled checks, a cash book, clippings, correspondence, income tax returns, insurance policies, an investment account journal, ledgers, legal documents, a line drawing, lists, memos, minutes, photographs, plats, receipts, reports, stock certificates, telegrams, and other material for the period 1885-1970; the bulk of the papers are dated between 1925 and 1943. The record group is arranged alphabetically by folder title, with cancelled checks and financial volumes following. The material in the papers were created as a result of Hipp's business activities, his relationship with the Evangelical Lutheran Synod of South Carolina and Newberry College, interactions with other members of the Hipp family, and the settlement of his estate. The business papers include correspondence, an investment account journal, minutes, reports, stock certificates, and other material concerning investments and stock purchases in such companies as Dunean Mills of Greenville, SC; the Hypoborite [pharmaceutical] Syndicate in Columbia, SC; the Placentia-Richfield Central Oil Company of California; and Spartanburg County Mills of Spartanburg, SC, as well as material documenting the progress of drilling and the financial problems of the Welsh Oil Company /Corporation of Welsh, LA. Some of this material, such as the investment account journal, date to the period when Hipp ran his investment office in Greenville. The sale of ¼ interest in the Newberry, SC agency for Pacific Mutual Life Insurance Company of California by general agent Robert Norris to Hipp in 1909 and ½ interest, in 1910, the assignment of renewal commissions by Norris to the National Bank of Newberry in 1912, and the correspondence, telegrams, and legal documents relating to the legal case that arises from assignment are also part of this collection. There is material relating to real estate transactions in Jacksonville, FL; Richland County, SC; Lavinia Avenue in Greenville, SC; and most notably Northgate Heights, a housing development in Greenville where General Electric "New American Homes" (New American Demonstration Home Building Program) were constructed. The Northgate material includes correspondence relating to its construction, interior decorating and landscaping, and plats of the development. Most of the family correspondence has to do with requests from family members to Hipp for business, financial, insurance, real estate, and tax advice, as well as for financial assistance. There are also exchanges of family news. Among the correspondents are Harriet Fulmer (a niece of W. Frank Hipp), Paul S. Halfacre (brother of W. Frank Hipp's first wife), Ruth Graham Halfacre (his wife), Carroll D. Hipp (W. Frank Hipp's brother), Dorothy Hipp, Francis Hipp, Lois Hipp Kennedy (W. Frank Hipp's sister), Ella Frances Kennedy, (her daughter), Robert C. Kennedy (her husband), G. Harold Hipp, George C. Hipp, Herman Hipp, J. C. Hipp, and J. W. Hipp. In addition, there is correspondence between Hipp and Dr. Paul Ringer of Asheville, SC, reporting his treatment of Dorothy [Dot] for tuberculosis during the period 1933-1935, and a 1934 school paper on South Carolina history by Boyd Calhoun Hipp. Nearly a quarter of the collection relates to the settlement of Hipp's estate from 1943-1948; his sons Francis and Herman Hipp were the estate's executors. These files contain correspondence about stocks and dividends; with banks concerning the closing bank balances and loans/notes and the retirement of bank certificates/dividends; with the U.S. Internal Revenue Service and the South Carolina Tax Commission regarding estate taxes; and with G. Richard Shafto on the valuation of radio station WIS. Among the other estate records in the collection are bank deposit books and statements, bills, a cash book, disbursement records, documents concerning the 1941 reinsurance agreement between Liberty Life Insurance Company and Surety Life Insurance Company, a ledger, probate court and other legal documents (such as the determination, sale, and distribution of estate assets), lists of assets, federal and state tax, returns, and valuations. There is also some material on the settlement of the estate of Hipp's father, J. C. Hipp. The material concerning the Evangelical Lutheran Synod of South Carolina and Newberry College includes correspondence regarding the purchasing and refinancing Synod and College bonds (especially those Hipp holds), the sale of Summerland College property, and the finances of the Synod and College; there is correspondence with both James C. Kinard, the President of Newberry College, and the Reverend Edgar Z. Pence, the President of the Synod (in Little Mountain, SC). In addition, there are clippings about the College, financial records, Board of Trustee meeting minutes, a mortgage indenture, pledges by Hipp to various College funds, reports regarding a contract to create a sustaining fund for College using an insurance policy with Unity Life Insurance Company in Columbia SC, and a collateral note between the College and Hipp and The Citizens and Southern Bank of South Carolina (Columbia, SC), with information about payments of interest to Frances McFayden Hipp after W. Frank Hipp's death. The collection also includes biographical information on Hipp (including a copy of his death certificate); correspondence relating to college loans he made to Mary Faith and Edward F. Irick of Elloree, SC, and Ernestine Bodie of Ridge Spring, SC; 1943 letters to Francis Hipp, in sympathy on his father's death and congratulations for becoming president of Liberty Life; items concerning appliances for, repairs to and insurance on the Hipp house on McDaniel Avenue; income tax forms for Hipp and daughter Dorothy (Gunter); Masonic demits, 1926-1927; and material relating to the insurance policies of W. Frank, Boyd Calhoun, and Francis Hipp. Other major correspondents in this collection include Thomas F. Ball, Angus E. Bird, Eugene S. Blease, John Carradine, Butler B. Hare, Leon LeGrand, and Carroll J. Ramage. Material relating to W. Frank Hipp may be found in Record Groups 2 (Southeastern Life Insurance Company Records), 3.1 (Liberty Life Insurance Company Legal Department Records), 3.2 (Liberty Life Insurance Company Pre-Corporation Records), 7.1 (Cosmos Broadcasting Corporation Records), 8.1 (Communications Department Photographic Records), 8.2 (Communications Department Biographical Information) and 11.1 (The Liberty Corporation Historical Research Material). Oversize material, an oversize cash book, and photographs were removed from the collection and placed in oversize or photographic storage.

Hipp joined Liberty Life Insurance Company in 1946 and served as assistant treasurer (1948-1949), assistant vice president (1949-1953), administrative vice president (1953-1959), vice president for investments (1959-1961), senior vice president (1961-1968), and executive vice president for investment (1968-1976). He also served as president of The Broadcasting Company of the South and later as chairman of the board of Cosmos Broadcasting Corporation, as well as a director and executive vice president (1968-1976) of The Liberty Corporation. Hipp was also president and director of Liberty Investment Management Corporation and a director of Greater Arizona Savings and Loan Association. As an active member of the Greenville business community, he was a director of Southern Bank and Trust Company, a director of Textile Hall Corporation, and a member of the American Institute of Management Presidents' Council, the Mortgage Bankers Association, the Newcomen Society, the National Board of Governors of the Institute of Living, and the Piedmont Economics Club. Hipp was also involved in numerous community and educational organizations including the Council of Wofford College Associates, the Davidson College Board of Visitors, the National Board of Governors of the Institute of Living, and the North Greenville College Advisory Board. In 1976, Hipp received the distinguished alumnus award from Davidson. He was married to Jean Jones Hipp and was the father of Beth Louise Hipp and Boyd Calhoun Hipp II. Following an extended bout with cancer, he died on October 16, 1976. Information for this biographical sketch was found in Series 3, Personal Papers, of this record group. Scope and Content Note The Boyd Calhoun Hipp Papers document primarily his business activities at The Liberty Corporation, its subsidiaries, and its predecessors. Hipp was mainly involved in Liberty's broadcast and investment operations. The files are arranged into record series according to the specific corporation. Within each series, the records are organized in an alphabetical subject file. Some larger series, such as Liberty Life Insurance Company and The Liberty Corporation, are further divided by committees or departments, and folders related to that subdivision are arranged in an alphabetical order. These records illustrate the planning and operations of a number of Liberty firms. There is considerable material about The Broadcasting Company of the South, Cosmos Broadcasting Corporation, and its flagship station, WIS, including minutes of meetings of Board of Directors, financial statements, balance sheets, and investment committee files. The records of Liberty Life Insurance Company include file of the numerous committees upon which Hipp served. Of particular importance are those of the finance, investment and management committees. There are also records of the Investment Division that Hipp supervised. The Surety Investment Company series includes records of the finance, investment, and management committees, balance sheets, and correspondence. There are a few records from the following firms: Independence Insurance Company, Selico Incorporated, The Southeastern Life Insurance Company, Special Services Corporation, The Surety Insurance Company, The Surety Indemnity Company, The Surety Life Insurance Company, Surety Realty Corporation, The Liberty Corporation, Tres & Company, and Bankers Fire and Marine Insurance Company. A small series of personal papers includes material related to Hipp's activities in several professional insurance organizations and biographical material. NOTE: Some of The Broadcasting Company of the South records were not received from the Liberty Corporation Archives with the other records of this series. These records include Accountants Report and Financial Statement, Annual Meeting, Balance Sheets, Bank Balance, Board of Director's Meetings, Broadcasting Company of the South Foundation, CATV, and Comparative Statement of Income-Radio Station WIS. A list of the titles of these folders is given after the separation list.

Record Group 6 Record Group 6: Herman Hipp Papers 1938-1985 54.0 cubic feet including photographs and oversize material Biographical Note Herman Neel Hipp was born November 2, 1913, in Spartanburg, South Carolina, the son of W. Frank and Eunice Halfacre Hipp. Following his family's move to Greenville, he attended public schools in that city and graduated from Furman University in 1935 with a Bachelor of Science degree in economics and business administration. As a teenager, Hipp worked in the printing shop of the family business, The Liberty Life Insurance Company, and he joined the management team of that organization upon finishing college. For almost fifty years Herman Hipp helped direct the rise of a local insurance company to national stature as a diversified Fortune 500 corporation. Appointed assistant secretary of The Liberty Life in 1936, he served successively as vice president (1943-1954), agency vice president (1954-1961), senior vice president (1961-1968), executive vice president (1968-1969), president (1969-1977), and chairman (1977-1978). Hipp was a member of Liberty Life's board of directors from 1943; his duties at The Liberty Corporation included the positions of executive vice president (1967-1977), president (1977-1978), and vice chairman (1979-1984). Hipp's business activities also involved service on the boards of directors of several subsidiaries and satellite companies, among them Cosmos Broadcasting Corporation, Atlas Life Insurance Company, and United Fidelity Life Insurance Company. He was also a member of the Greenville board for the South Carolina National Bank, a member of the executive committee of the Life Insurers Conference and a director of the Life Underwriters Training Council. Herman Hipp's prominence as an executive thrust him into the forefront of civic affairs in Greenville. He was on the board of directors of the Greenville Chamber of Commerce, the board of associates of Converse College, and served as a trustee of The Greenville Hospital System. As a long-standing member of Furman University's Advisory Council, Hipp helped create long-range policy for that institution. On November 25, 1950 Hipp married Jane Gage Fishburne of Walterboro, South Carolina. They had five children: Herman Neel Hipp, Jr., Mary Ladson Hipp Haddow, William Franklin Hipp, Edward Fishburne Hipp, and Jane Gage Hipp. After a lengthy battle with cancer, Herman Hipp died on November 30, 1984. Scope and Content Note The Herman Hipp Papers document Hipp's activities as a business executive and civic leader. The bulk of this collection covers the years from 1950 to 1982. The collection is arranged in series as follows: 1. The Broadcasting Company of the South 1957-1964 2. Cosmos Broadcasting Corporation 1965-1982 3. Liberty Life Insurance Company 1943-1982 4. Selico Incorporated 1965-1968 5. The Southeastern Life Insurance Company 1964-1968 6. The Surety Life Insurance Company 1956-1961 7. Surety Investment Company 1963-1968 8. Premium Acceptance Corporation 1965-1968 9. The Surety Indemnity Company 1963-1965 10. The Surety Insurance Company 1963-1965 11. Surety Realty Corporation 1964-1967 12. Special Services Corporation 1958-1970 13. Life Insurance Agency Management Association 1950-1982 14. The Liberty Corporation 1968-1982 15. Atlas Life Insurance Company 1979-1982 16. Greater Arizona Savings and Loan Association 1973-1982 17. Liberty Investors Benefit Insurance Company 1967-1971 18. United Fidelity Life Insurance Company 1978-1982 19. Personal Series 1938-1985 20. Tres and Company 1958-1973 Herman Hipp's first love as an executive was Liberty Life Insurance Company. The sheer size of the Liberty Life series reflects its importance to this collection. To insiders at Liberty Life Hipp was known as "Mr. Sales Manager." From 1943 until 1968 his primary responsibility was directing the increasingly complex sales operations of the company. This series records the dramatic growth of Liberty Life and reveals Herman Hipp's executive traits of persistence and attention to detail. After Hipp's elevation to the presidency of Liberty life in 1969 and subsequently as a top echelon executive of The Liberty Corporation, his files become more general and policy-oriented. As a board member of the various subsidiary companies of Liberty Life and The Liberty Corporation, e.g., Cosmos Broadcasting and United Fidelity Life Insurance Company, this policy orientation is particularly apparent. The five different Surety Series present a potentially confusing situation to the researcher, as the word "Surety" was used as a catch-all to name Hipp family controlled satellite companies. Doyle Boggs' The Liberty Spirit: History of The Liberty Corporation (1986) deals with the origins of Surety (see especially p. 41). A separate reference file entitled "Surety" exists in The Liberty Corporation Archives. The relatively large Personal Series details Herman Hipp's private life. As an ardent alumnus of Furman University, Hipp contributed both his time and resources to Furman's Growth. The Furman files in this series provide an inside glimpse of fund raising and long-range planning at the Greenville school. The Personal Series also documents Herman Hipp's involvement with the Greenville Chamber of Commerce and the Greenville Hospital System. The general correspondence files in this series project Hipp's courtesy and thoughtfulness. Because Herman Hipp did not totally segment his business and personal activities, there exists some overlapping in the collection. Specifically, Hipp's correspondence with insurance executives from competing companies is chiefly personal in nature and is therefore located in the Personal Series. Finally, the researcher should realize that a gap exists in the collection from the years 1974 to 1979. These files could have been destroyed or they may yet be recovered in the future. If found they will likely be treated as a separate sub-record group.

Record Group 7.1 Record Group 7.1: Cosmos Broadcasting Corporation Records 1930-1984 13.5 cubic feet including photographs and oversize material Corporate History The origins of Cosmos Broadcasting Corporation date on July 1930, with the establishment of WIS radio in Columbia, South Carolina by entrepreneur George T. Barnes. In an effort to bolster the finances of his struggling radio station with an infusion of capital, Barnes and several other investors formed South Carolina Broadcasting Company in November 1930 as the parent company, or licensee, of WIS. The fledgling enterprise continued to founder, and it was sold within a year to W. Frank Hipp and The Liberty Life Insurance Company. Hipp and his lieutenants promptly reorganized the affairs of WIS. Its parent company was re-chartered in 1932 as The South Carolina Broadcasting Company and placed under the capable direction of G. Richard Shafto. For the next 37 years Shafto guided the Hipp family's radio (and later, television) operations to profitability and prominence. Several radio stations were bought and sold during the 1930's and 1940's, including WNOX (Knoxville), WFTI (Athens, Georgia), and WCSC (Charleston). All Hipp family radio interests were put under the corporate umbrella of Surety Life Insurance Company in 1942; Surety Broadcasting Company was formed in 1946 as a subsidiary to administer more effectively these operations. In 1950, a separate broadcasting entity was created with the name of The Broadcasting Company of the South. The decade of the 1950's witnessed dramatic changes in the broadcasting industry. In line with these changes, The Broadcasting Company of the South successfully branched into television with the advent of WIS-TV in 1953. WSFA-TV of Montgomery, Alabama was acquired in 1959, and the scope of The Broadcasting Company of the South's operations grew to national stature in 1965 with the purchase of major-market station WTOL-TV of Toledo, Ohio, for $11.6 million. As a result of this expansion, the company changed its name to Cosmos Broadcasting Corporation. Cosmos constantly strove to stay abreast of technological advances and sought opportunities for strategic expansion. The 1960's brought the arrival of cable television, and Cosmos was a pioneer in the new industry when it formed Cosmos Cablevision, Inc. and Cox-Cosmos, Inc. The acquisition of WSDU-TV (New Orleans) in 1972 and Orion Broadcasting (including television stations WAVE in Louisville and WFIE in Evansville, Indiana, and two radio stations) in 1981 further enhanced Cosmos' standing in the broadcasting industry and its contributions to the profit picture of its parent holding company, The Liberty Corporation. In 1986, Cosmos sold its radio operations and acquired two additional television stations, KPLC-TV in Lake Charles, Louisiana, and KAIT-TV in Jonesboro, Arkansas. Scope and Content Note The Cosmos Papers span a period from the first air date of WIS radio in 1930 to the merging of Orion Broadcasting in the early 1980's. The collection consists mainly of correspondence of corporate officers such as G. Richard Shafto, Charles A. Batson, W. Frank Hipp, Francis M. Hipp, Dixon Lovvorn, and Macon G. Patton, as well as station managers, stockholders and law firms. This record group also contains legal files dealing with Cosmos' relations with the Federal Communications Commission, including several volumes of testimony by Cosmos officials in 1962 concerning the possible deintermixture of UHF and VHF television signals. In addition, the collection holds numerous FCC regulations for the cable television industry. The establishment and early history of WIS is well documented, including a manuscript history of the station, "So Rich a Heritage," written by Miss Louis Lang in the 1960's. Many publications of Cosmos and its predecessors are found in the collection, such as COSMOS-politan, the corporate newsletter, and annual reports to stockholders. Arrangement Apparently a compilation of file systems, the collection is arranged by series and thereafter alphabetically by folder title.

Record Group 8.1: Communications Department Photographic Records 1947-1986 (Bulk, 1970-1984) 14.1 cubic feet (790 photograph folders, 525 for positives and 265 for negatives, in thirty-seven document boxes; 290 oversize photographs in one container box and in three flat storage boxes and three larger oversize photographs in The Liberty Corporation Map Case drawer #63; and fifty-five small to oversize graphic arts material in The Liberty Corporation Map Case Drawer # 65. There are also five video format cassette tapes with this collection) Processing Information This register was created in 1998 by Alan Burns and updated in 2010 by James Cross. Immediate Source of Acquisition The photographic material in this collection came from the following accessions: 82-22, 82-24-10A, 82-24-10B, 82-24-11, 82-24-12, 82-24-13, 82-24-15, 82-47, 84-3, 85-8, 85-17, 85-19-2, 85-24-12, 86-5-A, 86-8, 86-9, 87-1, 87-2, 88-6, 88-16, and 94-54; and five video cassette tapes from 98-37. Department History The Communications Department has a long history of service and involvement with each of The Liberty Corporation’s family of insurance and broadcasting companies, over the years, through its various and diverse publications. Beginning soon after the charter of Southeastern Life, in 1905, to Liberty Life’s establishment, in 1919, to the merger of the two, in 1941, and ending with the formation of The Liberty Corporation, in 1968, there has been a need to publish news and information about company and employee related endeavors. Although broadcasting publications are not represented in the publications of this record group many broadcasting company activities and employees are, however, frequently mentioned in them. The Communications Department has had different names over the years with the various companies. Before the time of its creation communications or public relations responsibilities were part and parcel of other departments. Actual details about departments and/or individuals in charge of company publications are scanty, even non-existant, until the early 1950s. In 1954, an Advertising & Public Relations Department was created for Liberty Life with John V. Blalock as manager. By 1959, Advertising & Public Relations had become part of the President’s Office along with Audit, Claims Service, and Legal. In 1961, Paul E. Smith, Jr. replaced Blalock as head of the department and remained so until 1967. The Liberty Corporation was formed in 1968 and one year later Leonard A. Maxwell was installed as Director of Communications. Thus advertising & public relations with accompanying publications responsibilities passed from company to corporate management. In 1972, Maxwell became Vice President for Communications and remained so until the late 1980s. A publishing highlight for the corporation, and indeed a culmination of efforts to that point, was publication of The Liberty Spirit: History of The Liberty Corporation in 1986. Among those earlier efforts, representing the first regular company publication, is The Southeastern Circle which was published by Southeastern Life. The Southeastern Circle ran leading insurance news and sales techniques for the company from approximately 1905 to 1941, and set the stage for its successor. Liberty Legion began publication during 1919, and became the second regular company publication, in 1941, when Southeastern and Liberty merged. The Southeastern Circle and Liberty Legion consequently overlap during the years 1940 & 1941 when the companies were negotiating a union. Later efforts continue with Liberty Legion which enjoyed a long and prosperous run, from 1940 to 1971, as Liberty Life’s banner publication. By 1972, in order to facilitate a new image and better describe its clientele, the publication’s name was changed from Liberty Legion to Liberty Leaders. This publication also enjoys a continuing and prosperous run due to the fact that Liberty Life and its agents are indeed leaders in the insurance field, both at home and throughout the Southeast. Scope and Content This photographic collection contains valuable visual information effectively documenting Liberty Life activities, events, and individuals through photographic records developed for Company/Corporate publications and public relations. This collection includes photographs produced for such publications as Home Office News, Liberty Legion, Liberty Leaders, Liberty Life News, and LINK; a variety of images depicting public relation sponsored and promoted events; and individual portraits and pictures, including those of agents and employees, directors, executives, and members of the Hipp Family. Many activities and events are represented in this collection. Photographs produced for several company publications over more than forty year’s time necessarily mount into the hundreds. A few of the more prominent categories for these activities and events include: agents and employees; athletic events; branch offices; Combination Agency activities; company functions and activities; conferences and conventions; Home Office; individuals, i.e., executives, directors, and other VIPs; monthly sales promotions; regional meetings; sales incentive programs; Scholastic Art; Service Awards; and training. These activities and events are documented throughout the collection under divisions titled Company and Employee Functions, Executives, Hipp Family, Home Office News, Individuals, Liberty Legion, Liberty Leaders, Liberty Life News, and Public Relations, and under format sections titled Positives, Negatives, and Oversize. There is also a Large Oversize section comprising 290 photographs and a Separation List for three larger oversize photographs and fifty-five small to oversize graphic arts material. The photographs comprising this collection, commissioned for various company publications, and in combination with the written word give meaning and depth to company activities and events and the people who participated in them. Yet, when separated from the written word, as they are now and were when commissioned, they hold original as well as additional meaning for whomever view them. These photographs tell us things about the company that words alone, and in combination with words, cannot. The value and meaning of each is, as they say, in the eye of the beholder. One should be able to behold the heart and soul of the Liberty Life through viewing this collection. Of special interest to those doing research on the Liberty Life Insurance Company and/or The Liberty Corporation are the numerous portraits of executives and board of directors members. These pictures represent decades of company and corporate leadership, and depict the appearance and bearing of those individuals who shaped the business. These portraits are located in the two flat storage boxes for oversize material. Also of interest are similar photographs of Liberty Life Insurance Company agents and employees from the 1940s to the 1980s. These pictures are more candid than those for the executives and board members and, thus, depict ordinary people doing ordinary insurance work. Taken as a whole, the photographs of this collection offer insights into who the people of Liberty Life were and what they did over the years to make a difference within the company and throughout the state for the business of insurance. This company had fun making things happen and made a solid impact on its people and on the business character of the state of South Carolina. This collection of photographs represents those accomplishments and contributions, to company and business, as only visual representations are able. Also included with this collection are five distinctive videos depicting company and corporate events and anniversaries. They include “Backroads” 1986, “Hugo” 1989, “Liberty Life 90th Anniversary” 1995, and “WIS 40th Anniversary” 1993.

Record Group 8.2 Record Group 8.2: Communications Department Biographical Information 1948-1983 0.3 cubic feet Scope and Content Note The Biographical Information records document personal information for certain employees and executives who worked for the Liberty Life Insurance Company and The Liberty Corporation. These records inform us about the work experience, personal and family interests, and the civic and religious activities of these people. These records provide us with knowledge about certain individuals who worked for Liberty, and tell us what kind of people these individuals were who helped make Liberty Life and The Liberty Corporation the kind of companies they are today. As mentioned above, most of this biographical information was originally coupled with photographs and/or portraits of the individuals as generated by the Communications Department for company and public relations purposes. A few of the biographical information records included in this collection were included in the Archives at the request of Robert Ritchie as he endeavored to create an historical records depository for the company. The Biographical Information records are arranged alphabetically by name for sixty-eight individuals. The dates of the information run from 1948 to 1983, with the bulk of the dates running between 1962 and 1979. Twenty-seven individuals have photographs and/or portraits associated with their biographical files. Those photographs and/or portraits are located with Record Group 8.1, the Communications Department Photographic Records. Historical Sketch Please refer to the Communications Department History, which is found in Record Group 8.1, the Communications Department Photographic Records, for this information.

Record Group 8.3 Record Group 8.3: Communications Department Publications & Forms 1928-1983 13.05 cubic feet Historical Sketch Please refer to the Communications Department History, which is found in Record Group 8.1, the Communications Department Photographic Records, for this information. Scope and Content Note The Communications Department Publications & Forms span a period of time from 1928 to 1993, the bulk running from 1940 to 1980. Arrangement is alphabetical by publication name and chronological by publication date. They document the early growth and later development of Liberty's family of companies, their employees, and related business and civic activities. Many of the publications, particularly the Legions and Leaders, were devoted to annual conferences and the agents who "made the grade" for attendance. These publications are valuable for research into the human element of the insurance industry in South Carolina because Liberty's publications highlighted the employees, their achievements and contributions. Representing the major publications in this collection are: Bulletins, such as Combination Department Bulletins and Executive Bulletins, cover most, if not all, insurance activities for agents and branch offices; News letters, such as Home Office News and Home Office News-Letter, announce activities of the Home Office; Periodicals, such as Liberty Spirit and LINK, delineate activities at the corporate level; and Magazines, such as Liberty Legion and Liberty Leaders, Liberty Life's banner publications for over forty years, reflect the heart of the business-insurance sales and agent/branch office competition/promotional activities. Other publications include, but are not limited to: Advanced Underwriting Bulletins, Agency Bulletins, Financial Freedom for the Family, Group News, Honor Roll, Inter-Office Correspondence, Liberty by the Week, Liberty Marketing Memo, Liberty Securities List, Liberty Update, On The Move, President's Club, and A Very Special Group of People. The department was so prolific in generating publications that during the mid-1970s, apparently having run out of names, the title WhatchaMacallit was given to the latest in the long line of company magazines. Documents representing company business forms include three basic kinds: Department, Numbered Policies, and T (Term) Policies.

Record Group 8.4 Record Group 8.4: Communications Department Advertising & Public Relations Records 1943-1989 5.3 cubic feet Historical Sketch Please refer to the Communications Department History, which is found in Record Group 8.1, the Communications Department Photographic Records, for this information. Scope and Content Note The Communications Department Advertising & Public Relations Records are rich in promotional and other news-worthy information disseminated by Liberty Life and Liberty Corporation over a forty-six year period. Topics range alphabetically from accidents to welfare, and cover most every conceivable topic of business in between. These records have heavy content in the areas of company/corporate advertising, product marketing, company/corporate news, departments and subsidiary information, and publications. This information represents both internal and external usage and targeting. For example, publications were primarily directed internally for employee use, whereas the brouchures in this collection had external audiences. Although all or most records were promotional in nature not all were intended to sell a product. Some advertising activities were service related and brought attention to company and civic events or programs. The Home Office Art Collection, Company Scholarships and Scholastic Awards, and Student Exchange Program are a few examples of these activities. There are also a number of photographs associated with this collection. As with the photographs for the Communications Department Photographic Records (Record Group 8.1), these photographs also document a few issues of the Liberty Legion in 1968 and one issue of the Voting News from 1969. However, these photographs contain much more information about company sponsored programs that only the visual image can provide. This information concerns Advertising Plans, Home Office Art, Insurance Correspondence, Life Underwriters, Merit Scholarship, Regional Honor Ads/Hall of Fame, Policyholder Relations, Richland Mall, Student Exchange Program, and the United Fund. Separated Material Photographs Sixteen folders, each containing from one to thirty-three photographs of corporate activities, events and programs, in a half-size document box with the Liberty Corporation photographs; folders are titled as follows: Advertising Plan, 1966 Home Office Art, Lobby Display, 1965 Liberty Life, Insurance Correspondence, 1966 Insurance Information, Life Underwriters, 1963 Life Insurance Agency Management Association (LIAMA), 1969 Merit Scholarship Winner, Ann K. Padgett, 1970 NALU Conference, 1969 Photographs for Annual Report, 1970 Photographs Regional Honor Ads, Hall of Fame Plaques, 1970 Policyholder Relations, 1968 Publications, Liberty Legion, April 1968 Publications, Liberty Legion, May-June 1968 Publications, Voting News, 1969 Richland Mall, Shopping Center, 1961 Student Exchange Program, 1970 United Fund, 1968

Record Group 9 Record Group 9: Independence Insurance Company Records 1890-1962 (Bulk, 1922-1942) 4.375 cubic feet including 54 volumes and oversize material Corporate History The Independence Insurance Company was founded in 1930 by W. Frank Hipp and was charted that same year. The company quickly reinsured the sickness and accident business of The Liberty Life Insurance Company and thereby assumed those lines of insurance. Additionally, Independence also sold industrial life insurance targeted at a low-income, primarily African-American, clientele. From December 1931 until January 1942, Independence owned the Chamber of Commerce Building (also known as the Insurance Building and Liberty Life Building) in downtown Greenville, South Carolina. In December 1938, Independence sold all of its life insurance business to Southeastern Life Insurance Company. In 1956, Independence became a wholly-owned subsidiary of The Surety Life Insurance Company, another Hipp-family controlled enterprise. As part of the reorganization of the various companies in December 1961, the Independence Insurance Company name was changed to The Surety Insurance Company. Scope and Content Note The Independence Insurance Company Records document-through annual statements, correspondence and memos, financial records, insurance policies, legal cases, and other reports-some of the business operations the company participated in or practiced over its thirty-one-year lifespan. As stated above, 'the company reinsured the sickness and accident business of The Liberty Life Insurance Company and thereby assumed those lines of insurance.' Some of 'those lines of insurance' pre-date the founding of Independence by several years; one insurance policy in particular may date back to 1890. Other records include accident claims, annual statements, information on Southeastern Life, Liberty Life Insurance Company policies, an ordinary application register, payment and rate books, a policy register, stocks and stockholders information. Financial records and Legal Case files make up the majority of this collection's records. Claimants include: Walter Alexander, Ellen Dingle, Lee Dubose, John Edwards, M.M. Jarrett, John and Ella McKnight, Julia Ann President, and Rosanna Prioleau. Financial records consist of cash books, journals, ledgers (both general and rent), and trail balance books, mostly for the period 1931-1950. Of interest is a 1932 letter from Senator James F. Byrnes concerning WIS Radio. For more information concerning the legal business and activities of the Independence Insurance Company please refer to Record Group 3.1, Liberty Life Insurance Company Legal Department Records, Series 5, Independence Insurance Company; and Record Group 5, Boyd Calhoun Hipp Papers, Series 4, Independence Insurance Company, which has a folder of balance sheets and operating statements for 1958-1961.

Record Group 10 Record Group 10: Southern Life Insurance Company Records 1927-1987 33.1 cubic feet including photographs and oversize. Corporate History The origins of SLIC date to 20 October 1927 with the chartering of its predecessor firm, Dixie Life Insurance Company, in Raleigh, North Carolina. Among the early investors in the new enterprise was attorney A. J. Fletcher (1887-1979), who continued to serve on the Board of Directors for over fifty years. In April 1931, W. L. Carter (1879-1968) was appointed President and Director of the fledgling company, and the firm's headquarters were moved to Greensboro. The following year, Dixie Life acquired the Greensboro-based Southern Life and Accident Insurance Company, and the parent firm changed its name to Southern-Dixie Life Insurance Company. The addition in 1935 of T. C. Collins (1901-1975) as Agency Manager and Secretary considerably strengthened the firm's management team. From that date, Carter, Collins, Fletcher, and their descendants would retain financial control of the company and oversee policy decisions through its Board of Directors. Through the 1930's and 1940's Southern-Dixie Life specialized in weekly premium, or "debit," life insurance targeted to lower-middle and working class families, primarily in central and eastern North Carolina. By 1947, steady sales increases and a growing home office staff prompted the company to move its headquarters to a separate building at 330 South Greene Street in Greensboro, where it would remain for 33 years. Shortly thereafter, the firm changed its name to Southern Life Insurance Company. The end of World War II also brought new managerial talent and increased opportunities for expansion to Southern Life. In 1946, Wilbur L. "Bo" Carter, Jr. (1922-), a recent graduate of Davidson College and veteran of combat in Europe, joined the company and assumed an active role in long-range decisions as well as day-to-day operations. By the time he succeeded his father as president in 1964, Carter had witnessed product diversification, geographic expansion, and tremendous sales growth. Beginning in 1951, SLIC launched its Ordinary (later to be known as General Agency) Division which eventually encompassed thirteen southeastern states. In 1952, SLIC purchased and reinsured the business of Southern Life Insurance Company of Florence, South Carolina and the following year bought Dixie-Security Life of Sumter, South Carolina, thus acquiring established debit business in the Palmetto State. To compare Southern Life's overall growth during the period, its total insurance in force in 1947 was $59.8 million; at the end of 1964, that figure stood at $343 million. For the next twenty years, SLIC would maintain a pattern of increased sales and conservative investment which would earn A. M. Best's A+ (Superior) rating. The benchmark of $1 billion insurance force was attained in 1976, and the $2 billion mark was reached in 1984. The company also embarked on an ambitious building project in 1979, which would include a new headquarters building in downtown Greensboro with an adjacent hotel. By the mid-1980's, however, a combination of factors which included increasing operating costs, diminishing or static investment yields, an outdated marketing strategy, and the approaching retirement of Wilbur Carter, induced the Board of Directors to seek a buyer for Southern Life. Consequently, the SLIC Board agreed in October 1986 to sell the firm to Liberty Life Insurance Company of Greenville, South Carolina. In noting the similarities between the two companies, The Liberty Corporation's W. Hayne Hipp commented, "It's a natural fit for our two companies to be together... It (the sale) is a classic case of two plus two adding up to five." The final agreement of sale for $80 million in cash, or the equivalent of $400 per share, was concluded on 31 December 1986. Scope and Content Note The Southern Life Insurance Company Records document a wide variety of marketing and administrative functions. The great majority of this material covers the years from 1951-1986. The collection is arranged in series as follows: Annual Statements: 1927-1977, 1987 Conventions: 1946-1977 External Communications: 1949-1987 Internal Publications: 1945-1986 O. Henry Festival: 1981-1986 Reports on Examination: 1938-1986 Seniority Awards: 1970-1987 Corporate Secretary: 1927-1987 Lease/Service Agreements: 1938-1978 Texas (Southern Life of Texas): 1975-1978 Printed Material: 1927-1986 The various series chart in great detail the administrative, financial, and marketing activities of Southern Life. The large (7.125 cu. ft.) and important Corporate Secretary series provides much information on upper-echelon decision making. Among the significant files in this series are the minutes of the Executive, Finance, Management, and Retirement Plan Committees. The two series entitled "Annual Statements" (Series 1), and "Reports on Examination" (Series 6) furnish copious financial data pertaining to SLIC's assets, investments, and operations. Series 4, Internal Publications, contains a relatively complete run of in-house publications such as the Field News and Currents. These newsletters detail the month-by-month development of Southern Life's sales force as well as providing biographical information on many individual agents and managers. Another prominent feature of this record group is its extensive (10.45 cu. ft.) collection of photographs and slides that document ceremonial occasions, home office personnel and activities, and sales conferences. As a note of caution to the researcher, a small but significant portion of SLIC records are yet to be accessioned. Specifically, the minutes of the Board of Directors and certain subsidiary files remain active in The Liberty Corporation's Legal Department. If this material becomes available, it likely will be added to Record Group 10 in separate series. Also, two reference folders related to the Southern Life records are available in the files of RG 11.4, The Liberty Corporation Archives.
Series 1: Annual Statements 1927-1977, 1987 4.5 cubic feet (12 folders and 81 volumes) Description This series consists of working papers and financial summaries (1927-1945) used to create Southern Life’s Annual Statement, a comprehensive accounting report submitted to state Insurance Departments. In addition, the series also contains eighty-one copies (1927-1977, 1987) of the report itself, including drafts, final printed versions, mid-year statements and statements concerning the Company’s participation in Servicemen’s Group Life Insurance under a reinsurer program. The Annual Statement was used by state government administrators to measure the solvency of insurance companies doing business within a particular state. It provides voluminous financial information on Southern Life’s assets, liabilities, investment, and lines of business. Arrangement The series is arranged chronologically.

Profusely illustrated, these newsletters provide a visual dimension to the overall record group. Arrangement The series is organized chronologically. Because each sales division of Southern Life – Combination (later known as Special Service), Ordinary (later known as General Agency), and Mortgage Insurance – each received its own version of each publication, the series is also organized by line of business.

The bulk of this material originated in the office of SLIC Senior Vice-President T. Clyde Collins, Jr., who succeeded his father as Secretary in 1968. The duties of the corporate secretary included keeping minutes of the meetings of stockholders, Boards of Directors, and the Executive and Finance Committees. Also, the corporate secretary acted as custodian of corporate records and countersigned all stock certificates and insurance policies. Records of particular importance in this series are the various committee minutes. The Executive Committee minutes not only document top-level decisions, they also contain memoranda, plans, and reports, which detail the sales and marketing efforts of the company. Moreover, the Finance Committee minutes summarize investment decisions, including mortgage loans, short-term investments, bonds, and equities. This series also documents the founding and subsequent development of SLIC’s predecessor firm, Dixie Life Insurance Company. It also encompasses information on members of the Board of Directors, stockholders, and the sale of SLIC to Liberty Life Insurance Company in 1986. Prominent correspondents in this series include W. L. Carter, Wilbur L. Carter, Jr., T. Clyde Collins, Jr., A. J. Fletcher, James F. Goodmon, C. T. Hagan, Jr., and Charles T. “Chip” Hagan, III. Arrangement The series is arranged in an alphabetical subject file. The original order of each folder, in most instances reverse chronological, has been retained.

Record Group 11.1 Record Group 11.1: Historical Research Material Records 1905-1986 (Bulk, 1979-1985) 2.0 cubic feet including 134 folders in 4 document boxes, 27 cassette tapes with duplicates in 4 cassette boxes, 20 folders containing 55 photographs in a half document box, and three oversize photographs. Corporate History The history of The Liberty Corporation dates from November 3, 1905, when it began business in Spartanburg, South Carolina as the Southeastern Life Insurance Company. It continued to operate with its executive offices in Spartanburg until the early part of 1910, when the Home Office was moved to Greenville, South Carolina, where it has since remained. On October 13, 1919, W. Frank Hipp (1889-1943), who began his life insurance career as an agent for Southeastern Life, organized a new company he named The Liberty Life Insurance Company. This firm enjoyed rapid growth, later proving a strong nucleus for the present corporation. W. Frank Hipp became one of Greenville's best-known business leaders. In 1933, Hipp became president of the Southeastern Life Insurance Company. Subsequently, Southeastern and The Liberty Life Insurance Company were operated under joint management until January 1, 1942, when the business of the companies was consolidated under the name of Liberty Life Insurance Company, with Hipp as president. This consolidation resulted in the formation of a strong, well-rounded organization that offered a complete line of life insurance protection. W. Frank Hipp served as president of Liberty Life until his death in 1943. He was succeeded by his son Francis M. Hipp (1911-1995), who became chief executive, under whose leadership the company continued to make outstanding progress as a financial institution and organization of service. Francis M. Hipp rapidly became one of South Carolina's best known business leaders. In 1955, with a decade of excellent company growth to his credit, Francis Hipp initiated the construction of new company headquarters just outside of Greenville. Heretofore, the four previous Liberty Life Home Offices, as well as the Southeastern Life Building, had all been located in downtown Greenville. Many downtown merchants thought their businesses might suffer with the loss of this major downtown enterprise. However, as with many of Francis Hipp's business decisions, downtown business did not suffer, in fact, new businesses were attracted to the area largely due to the substantial growth evidenced by Liberty Life Insurance Company's expansion. In 1966, Francis Hipp recommended to the Board of Directors the qualities and advantages of having a holding company function as parent organization for large and diverse business activities for growing companies such as Liberty Life. In 1967, the Board of Directors acted on Hipp's recommendation and formed the holding company which they named The Liberty Corporation. In 1969, The Liberty Corporation stock was listed on the New York Stock Exchange. Also in 1969, the third generation of the Hipp family joined the company when, W. Hayne Hipp (1940-) was made an assistant vice president of Liberty Life. He succeeded his father as President and Chief Executive Officer of The Liberty Corporation in 1978. W. Hayne is now one of South Carolina's foremost business leaders as well as one of Greenville's best-known civic leaders. At the end of the twentieth century, Liberty Corporation went through the most dramatic period since its formation in 1967. On June 19, 2000, The Liberty Corporation announced it was selling its insurance operations, Liberty Life Insurance and Liberty Insurance Services Corporation, as well as its real estate-including the headquarters building in Greenville, South Carolina-to the Royal Bank of Canada for $650 million. In addition, Liberty announced the merger of Cosmos Broadcasting with Jackson, Mississippi based Civic Communications, under which Liberty would pay Civic $204 million in cash. The sales agreement between The Liberty Corporation and the Royal Bank of Canada was completed on November 1, 2000 and a month later, on December 4, Cosmos Broadcasting Corporation completed the acquisition of Civic Communication. As of that date, Cosmos owns fifteen network-affiliated television stations. The Liberty Corporation, with members of the Hipp family at its helm, continues a leadership role in guiding the activities and investments of its various affiliated businesses. W. Frank and Francis M. Hipp, whose foresight, guidance, and business acumen built the strong foundation of Liberty Life, set the standard of influence. The force of their leadership during the formative years, now passed on and in the capable hands of W. Hayne, shapes The Liberty Corporation's future. Scope and Content Note The Historical Research Material Series consists of documents and papers, graphic materials, photographs, and cassette tape recordings of interviews with executives of The Liberty Corporation, and former agents and employees of The Liberty Life Insurance Company and The Southeastern Life Insurance Company. Included with the documents and papers are notes identifying thirty-eight individuals interviewed, six of whom are not on tape. Dates for the material run from 1905 to 1986, with the bulk of the material dating from 1979 to 1985. Much of this material was gathered in the course of research for The Liberty Life Insurance Company, 1919-1953 by Zane Knauss and The Liberty Spirit: History of The Liberty Corporation, 1905-1985 by Doyle Boggs. Several folders pertain to historical research material about The Liberty Corporation, The Southeastern Life Insurance Company, and The Liberty Life Insurance Company. One of these contains the History & Genealogy of the Hipp Family, 1749-1943. Another contains The Liberty Spirit: History of The Liberty Corporation. Many folders contain publication material used during production of The Liberty Spirit. A single publication folder holds the Fiftieth Anniversary 1905-1955 of The Liberty Life Insurance Company. A few folders contain draft history typescripts of The Liberty Spirit and The Southeastern Life Insurance Company. Several folders contain the manuscript history of Columbia, SC radio and television station WIS, So Rich A Heritage. Other folders contain interview notes that Knauss kept as he gathered oral information. Certain folders contain transcriptions of interviews, including those with Francis and Herman Hipp. One folder contains releases for use of the information on tape. Some folders contain research material used for the histories of the company. Additional folders contain material related to field agents, Furman University, Knauss, interview lists and reference sources, and reports. The thirty-two interviews themselves reside on twenty-seven original and duplicate user tapes. Numerous folders contain photographs of agents and employees, buildings and building sites, company executives and offices, conventions and training meetings, cotton mill village life, and downtown Greenville and Spartanburg dating from 1902 to 1978. A couple oversize folders contain photographs of standings of agents and the Southeastern Life Building. Although focusing on historical developments which culminated in the formation of The Liberty Corporation, the oral interviews, transcriptions, typescripts, and other material in this collection are also a prime source of information on the insurance and broadcasting industries in South Carolina. The interviews and printed material also provide valuable information on the development of other business interests in the state. Of equal importance is the biographical/ entrepreneurial information pertaining to members of the Hipp family who developed and organized Liberty Life and The Liberty Corporation, i.e., W. Frank Hipp, Francis M. Hipp, Herman N. Hipp, and B. Calhoun Hipp. This collection holds research potential in areas of twentieth-century South Carolina economic and mass communications history, and is a rich source of reference material for researchers.

Record Group 11.2 Record Group 11.2: The Liberty Corporation Records 1959-2000 12.95 cubic feet including 232 folders in 18 document boxes, 6 oversize boxes, and 4 oversize folders. Corporate History On December 1, 1967 The Liberty Corporation was created as a holding company with Liberty Life Insurance Company, Cosmos Broadcasting Corporation, Surety Investment Company, and Liberty Properties, Inc. as its subsidiaries. The new corporation became one of the first four South Carolina companies to be listed on the New York Stock Exchange on February 26, 1969. In 1969 W. Hayne Hipp, son of Francis Hipp, became an assistant vice president of Liberty Life. In 1971 the new TLC annex to the Liberty Life home office building in Greenville, South Carolina, was completed. Two years later the corporation purchased Greater Arizona Savings and Loan Association in Phoenix, Arizona. On March 1, 1977 there was a major change of the corporation's top executives: Herman M. Hipp became president and chief executive officer, Francis M. Hipp continued to serve as chairman of the board of directors and the executive committee, and W. Hayne Hipp became executive vice president of Liberty Life. That same year, the corporation acquired United Fidelity Life Insurance Company of Dallas, Texas. In 1979, W. Hayne Hipp became president and chief executive officer of The Liberty Corporation. The Liberty Corporation experienced more changes in the 1980s and the 1990s. In 1982 Greater Arizona Savings and Loan Association and United Fidelity Life Insurance Company were sold. Liberty's new corporate headquarters building was completed in December of that same year. In 1986 Cosmos Broadcasting Corporation sold its four radio stations for $3.9 million because the company wanted to focus its growth strategies exclusively within the television industry. During this time period, The Liberty Corporation purchased several life insurance, pre-need, and home service companies. On July 24, 1995, Francis M. Hipp, chairman of the board of directors and the executive committee, died. Hayne Hipp, the third generation of the Hipp family, succeeded his father as chairman. Nearing the end of the twentieth century, Liberty Corporation went through the most dramatic period since its formation in 1967. In February 1999 the corporation announced that it was considering a variety of restructuring alternatives that would actively support the business objectives of its operating subsidiaries and enhance value for shareholders. In May of that year, Liberty hired Goldman Sachs to look at possible separation of its businesses or other restructuring. On March 20, 2000, Liberty Life Insurance Company announced that it would expand its insurance administration services in Canada through an exclusive agreement with CAS Accounting for Insurance Inc. Sudden news came on June 19, 2000, when The Liberty Corporation announced it was selling its insurance operations, Liberty Life Insurance and Liberty Insurance Services Corporation, as well as its real estate, including the headquarters building in Greenville, South Carolina to the Royal Bank of Canada for $650 million. In addition, Liberty announced its plan to merge Cosmos Broadcasting with Jackson, Mississippi based Civic Communications, under which Liberty would pay Civic $204 million in cash. On November 1, 2000, the sales agreement between The Liberty Corporation and the Royal Bank of Canada was completed. And on December 4, 2000 Cosmos Broadcasting Corporation completed the acquisition of Civic Communication. As of that date, Cosmos owns fifteen network-affiliated television stations. Scope and Content Note The Liberty Corporation Records span the time period from 1954 to 2000, with the bulk of the records dating from 1969 to 1983. There are 231 folders of material in 18 document boxes, 6 oversize boxes, and 4 oversize folders. The records are arranged alphabetically by folder title and then chronologically within each folder. Included in this record group are such materials as blueprints, booklets, financial reports and statements, manuals, memorandum, minutes of meetings, and reports. These records show how the new corporation developed and expanded from its formation in 1967 through the early 1980s. Financial reports and statements account for a majority of the materials in this record group. These records document how the corporation progressed financially from year to year. The Board of Directors Reports shows the quarterly status of the corporation and its subsidiaries. The 1968-1970 reports are filed under this name while the 1971-1986 reports are filed under "Quarterly Reports". The years 1983-1985 are missing. In addition, there are the corporation's annual reports from 1968-1989, 1994, and 1997-2000. Moreover, budget variance and cost summary reports, budgets and financial statements are filed in this record group. The minutes of meetings and memorandum of the Management Committee document the development of the operations of the new Liberty Corporation from 1969 to 1979. Some of the topics covered include the acquisition of Cosmos Broadcasting Corporation and Surety Investment Company stock, the proposed alignment of the corporation's subsidiaries, the proposed acquisition of South Carolina National Bank (SCN), Securities Exchange Commission (SEC), Liberty Properties, CATV operations, Greater Arizona Savings and Loan, United Fidelity Life Insurance Company, and Lake Arrowhead Campground (Myrtle Beach, South Carolina). Other topics include the Greenville Housing Foundation, the Merit Scholarship Award Program, acquisition strategies and criteria, budgets, capital expenditure reports and requests, employee benefits, investment strategies, long range plans, and workmen's compensation. There is also a consent action form to purchase television station WDSU-TV in New Orleans, Louisiana, and an investment proposal for Cosmos' Montgomery Tall Tower in Alabama. Finally, the minutes of the Management Committee's task force meetings dealt with such subjects as corporate planning, coordinating the employee benefit package, and the spin-off of real estate operations from the corporation. Additional material on Securities Exchange Commission and South Carolina National Bank can be found in other sections of the record group. The material include the forms that Liberty had to file with Securities Exchange Commission to legally exist as a corporation, as well as a financial review and Directors' Questionnaires related to the proposed acquisition of South Carolina National Bank (SCN). Material from other corporate committees can be found in this record group. The minutes of the meetings of the Administration Committee cover such topics as buying or renting property for business purposes, establishing corporate accounts and committees for certain tasks, creating manuals and training programs, improving management incentive plans and office procedures, office problems and concerns, and status reports on various activities. The minutes of the Data Processing Review Committee meetings reflect how the committee evaluated potential systems development projects and identified the priorities to be followed by the systems and programming group. A majority of the memos of the Employee Benefits Committee deal with the announcements of upcoming meetings and their agendas. However, a few of the memos cover topics such as a pension plan alternative, maternity leaves-wage continuation, and Liberty Life Group Plan Revisions. Also, there is a report reviewing The Liberty Corporation's profit-sharing plan. Memos of the Product Development Committee deal with such subjects as ordinary policy revisions and thrift rate book changes. There is a survey of the Liberty Life Product Portfolio, a proposal for a new Intermediate Series of insurance policies aimed for the $7,500-$15,000 income range, and a bulletin about Senator Gary Harts' proposed "Consumer Insurance Information and Fairness Act" (S. 2065). The Bent Tree Advisory Committee's records reflect its concerns about cash requirements, creating guidelines for the Property Owners Association, construction progress, the home building program, marketing, the development of reorganization plans, and advertising for the recreational second home development near Atlanta (Jasper), Georgia in which The Liberty Corporation became involved in 1972. The two folders of the Education Committee contain listings of names, educational statistics and objectives, correspondence, petitions, reports and a speech outline concerned with improving the quality of education in Greenville County, South Carolina. Records pertaining to the new corporate headquarters building are filed in this record group. The "Building" and "Conference Memorandum" folders contain memos and budget reports on different aspects of the construction of the Liberty Corporation Office Building from 1979-1983. There is material concerning the progress schedule, project status meetings, sewer system, and zoning. Oversize blueprints and a drawing of The Liberty Corporation New Headquarters Office Building in Greenville, South Carolina, as well as blueprints of The Liberty Corporation Building in Addison, Texas, are also part of the record group. Other information can be found within the record group. There are some financial statements concerning income taxes of Greater Arizona Savings and Loan Association. The minutes of the meetings of Liberty Investors Benefit Insurance Company's Management Committee deal with the sale of company to ITT, as well as mid-year finances, current status of sales, and the termination of Surety Pension Plan. There are also documents regarding the Liberty Scholarship Programs at Clemson University, Furman University, and University of South Carolina. In addition, there is correspondence and memorandum concerning the establishment of an archives program at The Liberty Corporation, as well as banking, financial, organization, and strategic planning manuals. Finally, the record group contains booklets about subjects such as business ethics, career, compensation, disability, heritage, life insurance, medicine, and profit-sharing. In addition to the oversize blueprints and drawing, there are financial statements and securities listings concerning The Liberty Corporation, daily transfer sheets of the First National City Bank, and daily transactions of South Carolina National Bank (SCN).

Record Group 11.3 Record Group 11.3: The Liberty Corporation Subsidiaries Records 1948-1989 6.42 cubic feet Historical Sketch Bent Tree Corporation The Bent Tree Corporation, a recreational second home development near Atlanta (Jasper), Georgia, began business in the leisure home market in 1969. Planned as a community of some 3,500 lots, Bent Tree offered buyers a comfortable clubhouse, a championship golf course, and other recreational facilities. The company primarily engaged in the real estate management and development business that accounts for sales of lots, and recognized profits thereon, under the accrual method of accounting for retail land sales. On September 3, 1969, the company entered into a management agreement with Spratlin Associates Incorporated which provided that Spratlin would develop and market the Bent Tree project. In January 1972, The Liberty Corporation purchased this management agreement, contributed it to Bent Tree, and the agreement was cancelled. Bent Tree then came under management of Liberty Properties Group Incorporated (LPG), also a Liberty Corporation subsidiary. From the mid-1970s to the early 1980s one of the Liberty Properties Group strategies was to divest itself of all recreational and second home development. By July 1980, all of the original 3,500 home sites at the Bent Tree development had been sold and thus, by the mid-1980s, Liberty was able to withdraw completely from Bent Tree. First City Mortgage Company The First City Mortgage Company (FCMC), founded in 1967 in Houston, Texas, provides service in a variety of financial areas but specializes in originating and servicing loans on income producing properties in Texas, Oklahoma, Louisiana, Mississippi and New Mexico. The Liberty Corporation acquired First City Mortgage Company on December 31, 1978. In its capacity as United Fidelity Life Insurance Company's (UFLIC) major subsidiary, First City Mortgage works directly with the officers of United Fidelity as financial advisor and consultant. The company was also involved with the proposal for relocation of the United Fidelity Life Home Office operations from Houston's central business district to a suburban area in Addison, Texas. In addition to its advisory and consultant position, First City Mortgage also has responsibilities for managing, maintaining and marketing all foreclosed property for United Fidelity. Ownership of First City Mortgage was transferred from The Liberty Corporation on July 29, 1982; when United Fidelity was sold for $70 million to Western Preferred Corporation of Fort Worth, Texas. Greater Arizona Savings and Loan The Greater Arizona Savings and Loan Association (GASLA), a state chartered, stockholder-owned savings and loan association, was incorporated in the state of Arizona on August 26, 1960. All voting rights of the Corporation were vested in the owners of the guarantee capital stock of the Association. As of June 30, 1980, The Liberty Corporation, an insurance and broadcasting holding company headquartered in Greenville, South Carolina, owned 97.7% of the issued and outstanding guarantee capital stock of the Association. In September 1980, Greater Arizona Savings and Loan Association was the seventh largest savings and loan in Arizona. Its activities were conducted through its home office and ten branches in the Phoenix area (Maricopa County) and five branches in the Tucson area (Pima County) which together accounted for 77% of Arizona's population and 81% of personal income in the state. The Association employed 114 people on a full-time basis. The Liberty Corporation acquired ownership in Greater Arizona Savings and Loan Association in mid-1973 and managed the Association on a very conservative basis. The Greater Arizona Savings and Loan Association's reported earnings in 1977, 1978 and 1979 were adversely impacted by several extraordinary charges taken in accordance with The Liberty Corporation's overall financial plans including, a $176,000 provision for loss on the sale of a loan in 1977, a write down of the home office building leasehold of $553,000 in 1978, and a realized loss of 198,000 on the sale of loans at the end of 1979. Without these special, non-recurring charges, earnings for the three-year period for Greater Arizona Savings and Loan Association would have significantly exceeded reported levels. As a result however, The Liberty Corporation divested its interest in Greater Arizona Savings in order to concentrate its activities in the areas of insurance and broadcasting, which provided 95% of its net income in 1980. Integon Corporation The Integon Corporation was incorporated in 1968 and commenced business January 2, 1969, the effective date of the share-for-share exchange for all outstanding stock of the Security Life and Trust Company. In other words, Integon Corporation began operations as the management holding company formed by Security Life and Trust Company. The Security Life and Trust Company was incorporated under the laws of North Carolina March 11, 1920 and commenced business March 20, 1920. In 1954, it absorbed the Bankers Loan Insurance Company, of Tallahassee, Florida, and in connection with the acquisition of the Blue Ridge Insurance Company, of Charlotte, NC in 1959, it reinsured all the business of the Blue Ridge Life Insurance Company. On December 31, 1969, the names of all subsidiaries were changed to a form of Integon. Hence, Security Life and Trust Company was renamed Integon Life Insurance Corporation. The principal activities of the Integon Corporation are in the field of insurance through its life-health and property-liability subsidiaries. In 1969, Integon was ranked among the forty largest stock life insurance companies in the nation from the standpoint of insurance in force. Field operations are conducted at both the branch office and general agency levels, and in twenty-three states that comprise its territory Integon was represented by a field force of more than 450 soliciting agents. La Marick Beauty System Incorporated Liberty Life acquired all outstanding capital stock of Lorick Enterprises Incorporated and a controlling interest in La Marick Beauty Products Incorporated on October 1, 1965. Prior to that date, these companies were affiliated with La Marick Beauty System Incorporated through common capital stock ownership. Surety Investment Company purchased all of the outstanding capital stock of La Marick Beauty System Incorporated on April 30, 1966. After acquisition, Surety Investment Company liquidated La Marick Beauty System Incorporated and continued its operation as a division of the company, along with La Marick System of Beauty Culture of Alabama, Tennessee, and Virginia Incorporated (each separate), until 1968. Effective December 31, 1968, Surety Investment Company was acquired by The Liberty Corporation and, as a result, the beauty salons and related operations of the divisions (except for the net assets of the Alabama subsidiary) were transferred via reorganization to a new corporation, La Marick Beauty System Incorporated. The Tennessee and Virginia divisions became subsidiaries of this new corporation. The companies operated 1) a chain of beauty salons in seven southeastern states and a school of beauty culture in Charlotte, North Carolina, 2) manufactured and distributed a limited line of cosmetics and hair preparations and 3) engaged in the wholesale and retail selling of wigs. La Marick Beauty System Incorporated, formerly a wholly-owned subsidiary of The Liberty Corporation, became a wholly-owned subsidiary of Lorick Enterprises Incorporated on November 30, 1972 in connection with the transfer of all the company's outstanding stock from The Liberty Corporation to Lorick Enterprises Incorporated. Liberty Capital Advisors Incorporated Liberty Capital Advisors Incorporated (LCA) acts as an investment advisor for The Liberty Corporation, Liberty Life Insurance Company and Liberty Life Insurance Company's profit-sharing plan and investment portfolios. In this capacity Liberty Capital Advisors invests a percentage of Liberty Life's insurance premiums in stocks, bonds and other securities, that were recommended. Liberty Capital Advisors then judiciously tracks and analyzes those financial investments for continued growth and profit. The company relies on dedicated research of market trends, professional knowledge of the market, and a conservative approach to investing when advising Liberty Life on investments. Such investments include Median Bond Portfolios, Liberty Life Consolidation Portfolios and Equities, Liberty Life Small Company Portfolios and Equities, Liberty Life Common Stock Portfolios and Equities, and Universal Life Bond Portfolios. Liberty Capital Advisors Incorporated is the successor firm of Liberty Investment Management Corporation. Liberty Investment Management Corporation The Liberty Investment Management Corporation (LIMCO) was incorporated on March 16, 1972, as a wholly-owned subsidiary of The Liberty Corporation and grew out of the Investment Division of Liberty Life Insurance Company. The company was organized for the purpose of conducting the general business of an investment advisor and investment counsel. Through December 31, 1975, Liberty Investment Management Corporation acted as an investment advisor for The Liberty Corporation, Liberty Life Insurance Company and Liberty Life Insurance Company's profit-sharing plan and investment portfolios. These affiliates were the sole source of investment management fees for the Liberty Investment Management Corporation through 1975. Soon thereafter Liberty Investment Management Corporation was reorganized and renamed Liberty Capital Advisors Incorporated. Liberty Investors Benefit Insurance Company Liberty Investors Benefit Insurance Company (LIBCO) was a stock life insurance company organized November 27, 1967 under the laws of the state of South Carolina. It was organized by, and a wholly-owned subsidiary of, Liberty Life Insurance Company, which was a stock life insurance company, organized in 1905 under the laws of the state of South Carolina, that, at the time, was licensed to do life insurance business in twenty-one states. In its main business-variable annuity contracts-Liberty Investors Benefit Insurance Company assumes the mortality and expense risk of investment gain or loss, guarantees a specified interest rate, and guarantees a specified monthly annuity payment for which it receives certain amounts in return. On January 14, 1969, Liberty Life Insurance Company entered into a letter of agreement with International Telephone and Telegraph Corporation (ITT) which provided for the purchase by International Telephone and Telegraph of all capital stock of Liberty Investors Benefit Insurance Company no later than April 17, 1969. Liberty Properties Group Incorporated After its acquisition by The Liberty Corporation in December 1968, Surety Investment Company became known as Liberty Properties Group Incorporated (LPG). This renamed subsidiary began the 1970s with a burst of enthusiasm and a firm commitment to real estate development. From the start it was perceived that there was a growing need for residential and recreational developments created by applying proper land and facilities planning in a total environmental concept. Under this concept, Liberty Properties proposed to use extensive market research techniques to discover the real estate needs and desires of the people in the Southeast, and then apply the results of that research to economic feasibility models to determine the best methods to satisfy those needs. Unfortunately for Liberty Properties, however, those market surveys seemed to indicate a large demand for recreational and second home developments, and that field was where the company placed most of its emphasis in 1970 and 1971. From that emphasis Liberty Properties proceeded to develop the Snee Farm and Bent Tree projects and market them in mid-to late-1970s and early 1980s. Snee Farm was a recreational housing development while Bent Tree concentrated its sales in the second home market. Deficits were high during these years but the company managed to sell a majority, if not all lots associated with these two developments. By the late 1980s, after having divested itself of these recreational and second home developments, Liberty Properties concentrated on more sound, basic real estate properties by directing its attention to a diversified investment portfolio which included residential (single-and multiple-family units), office and industrial developments. Snee Farm Incorporated Snee Farm, a recreational housing development near Charleston, South Carolina, began business in the leisure home market in 1970. Planned as a community of some 1,500 lots valued at $8,000 each, Snee Farm offered buyers a comfortable clubhouse, a championship golf course, and other recreational facilities. The company primarily engaged in selling fully-developed home sites under contracts that provided for small down payments and periodic installments over periods up to one year. The Liberty Corporation owned 54.6 percent of Snee Farm's outstanding stock prior to 1975; however, the company became a wholly-owned subsidiary in October 1975 upon the purchase by Liberty of the 45.4 percent ownership held by minority shareholders. As a result of this acquisition, Snee Farm came under management of Liberty Properties Group which developed and marketed all such properties for Liberty. One of Liberty Properties strategies from the mid-1970s to the early 1980s was to divest itself of all recreational housing developments. By the late 1980s all 1,500 home sites at Snee Farm had been sold and, thus, Liberty was in a position to be completely out of this development by the end of 1986. Special Services Corporation Special Services Corporation was founded in the late 1950's to provide computer and air transport services to various Hipp family-controlled businesses. The company was a wholly-owned subsidiary of The Surety Life Insurance Company and that firm's successor, Surety Investment Company. In 1966, as a result of the reorganization of Surety Investment Company's subsidiaries, Special Services Corporation became a wholly-owned subsidiary of Liberty Life Insurance Company, continuing the evolution of Hipp family-controlled businesses. Special Services owns computer systems, air travel offices, and aircraft, and employs programmers and technicians, agents and consultants, and pilots and crews to operate them. Surety Life Insurance Company In 1942, Southeastern Life Insurance Company (chartered in 1905) merged with The Liberty Life Insurance Company. All active insurance from The Liberty Life was transferred to Southeastern Life's 1905 charter. This newly formed corporation was entitled "Liberty Life Insurance Company." The old company founded in 1919 by W. Frank Hipp, formerly The Liberty Life Insurance Company, changed its name to Surety Life Insurance Company. Surety's assets consisted of paid-up insurance, real estate investments, and two Hipp family-owned radio stations. The merger agreement also stipulated that Surety Life would receive 5% of all premiums collected by the Industrial Division of Liberty Life Insurance Company until 1956. Surety Life did not sell insurance but remained active as a vehicle for reinsurance and investments. Surety Life was reorganized in August 1950. The two radio stations were placed in a new firm, The Broadcasting Company of the South. A new entity, The Surety Life Insurance Company, was created to manage insurance, investments, and real estate operations. In 1955, The Surety Life recruited an agency sales force and began, for the first time, active solicitation of direct insurance. Its chief product, targeted to middle-class buyers was monthly debit ordinary (MDO) insurance. Wholly-owned subsidiaries of The Surety Life included The Surety Insurance Company, formed early in1957 as a fire, property, and casualty company; Independence Insurance Company, a life insurance company chartered in 1930; and Liberty Life Building Incorporated, later known as Surety Realty Corporation. Another reorganization of The Surety Life Insurance Company occurred in December 1961. Its successor firm became Surety Investment Company, with various specialized subsidiaries. Two different Hipp family-controlled companies took the name "The Surety Insurance Company." From 1957 until 1961, The Surety Insurance Company was a property and casualty company and a wholly-owned subsidiary of The Surety Life Insurance Company. From 1962 until 1965, The Surety Insurance Company was a life insurance company and a wholly-owned subsidiary of Surety Investment Company. In December 1965, Liberty Life absorbed the life insurance business of The Surety Insurance Company, thus ending the latter company's active operations. Surety Investment Company Surety Investment Company was an outgrowth of the insurance company that had been chartered originally as The Liberty Life Insurance Company. Chartered in February 1962, Surety Investment Company was the successor firm of The Surety Life Insurance Company as a result of the latter's reorganization in 1961. Surety Investment Company's wholly-owned subsidiaries included The Surety Insurance Company, The Surety Indemnity Company, Surety Realty Corporation, and Premium Acceptance Corporation. The two insurance subsidiaries (The Surety Insurance and The Surety Indemnity) incurred losses exceeding $800,000 by the end of 1964. Consequently, Surety Investment Company transferred its life insurance business to Liberty Life at the end of 1965 and sold its casualty operations in April 1966. Except for this brief period as an active insurance operation, Surety functioned primarily as a holding company for investments. The company held almost 20 percent of the common stock of Liberty Life as well as interests in Cosmos Broadcasting and the South Carolina National Bank. So by 1966 Surety's role as a holding company had diminished as it became active in real estate. Operating as a real estate investment and development firm Surety pioneered the enclosed shopping mall concept. The company developed the first in South Carolina-Richland Mall in Columbia in 1961-and had completed plans for one of the first luxury apartment complexes in the state at River Bend in Greenville. Other real estate holdings included plaza shopping centers in Morristown, Tennessee, and Forest Park, Georgia; motels in Dallas, Fort Worth and Amarillo, Texas; and a chain of beauty salons (La Marick Beauty System) in Alabama, North Carolina, Virginia and Tennessee. In 1967 Surety was developing a major seventy-acre industrial park and the Huntcliffe residential project in Atlanta, Georgia. In December 1968, The Liberty Corporation acquired all the assets of Surety Investment Company in exchange for stock. A detailed account of this transaction can be found in a folder entitled "Proxy Statement-1968." After its acquisition by The Liberty Corporation, Surety Investment Company became known as Liberty Properties Group Incorporated. Triad Life Insurance Corporation Triad Life Insurance Corporation was founded on June 2, 1970, when six insurance men completed the requirements for chartering a life insurance company in North Carolina. Authority to transact life, accident and health business was granted by the insurance commissioner and Triad Life soon became the fastest growing life insurance company headquartered in North Carolina. The founders' purpose was to build an insurance company specializing in home protection insurance for customers of lending institutions. The company would offer no other services, financially related or otherwise. This specialization would allow agents to know their market personally and work it vigorously. The founders raised the $2,000,000 necessary to guarantee Triad's obligations to its customers and investors, and the new company was named and chartered in Winston-Salem that second day in June 1970. United Fidelity Life Insurance Company United Fidelity Life Insurance Company was a stock company founded with assets of $750,000 by D.E. Waggoner in December 1920. Headquartered in Dallas, Texas, the business of the company was the sale and service of life and health insurance. On October 1, 1977, for $38 million, The Liberty Corporation acquired United Fidelity, an ordinary system company that worked primarily through independent agents and concentrated on middle-and upper-income families. Although United Fidelity did not meet Liberty's expectations of profitability and was ultimately sold on July 29, 1982, to Western Preferred Corporation of Fort Worth, Texas, for $70 million, Liberty learned important lessons in marketing, computer technology and management from its exposure to United Fidelity's entirely different way of doing insurance business. Scope and Content Note The Liberty Corporation Subsidiaries Records reflect the diverse business activities and investment interests the company engaged in over a forty-year period. As originally conceived, The Liberty Corporation was to have a triad configuration, with major subsidiaries in life insurance, broadcasting and investments playing mutually supporting roles. While the company moved rapidly and successfully forward with insurance and broadcasting the story was less than rapid and successful with investments. The company was, however, astute, practical, and ethical-it maximized profitable enterprises and, once suitable alternative management arrangements were made, divested itself of losing propositions. The documents comprising these Subsidiaries Records tell the tale of The Liberty Corporation's management strategies. The physical extent of the documentation for the Subsidiaries Records ranges from one folder for First City Mortgage, Integon, Liberty Capital Advisors, and Triad Life to forty or more folders for Greater Arizona (49), Liberty Properties (55), and United Fidelity (52). The remaining subsidiaries yield anywhere from three to eleven folders of information: Bent Tree (3), La Marick Beauty System (11), Liberty Investors Benefit Insurance (10), Liberty Investment Management (3), Snee Farm (6), Special Services (5), Surety Life (3), and Surety Investment (3). The informational extent for all the Subsidiaries Records is similar in that each contains some form of Annual or Financial Statements and Strategic or Long-Range Plans. Beyond that, Greater Arizona includes Board of Director's Meeting Minutes, an Index to Financial Statements, and Summary Reports; La Marick includes some Management Committee Meetings; Liberty Investment Management includes a Management Agreement and Investment Objectives; Liberty Properties Group Includes Board of Director's Meeting Minutes, a Capital Commitment Request, various Committee Meeting Minutes and Reports, and other Reports, Schedules, and Studies; Snee Farm includes an Accountant's Report, Balance Sheets, and Income Tax information; Special Services includes an Air Travel Agreement, Inventories, and a Purchase Order for a Learjet 25; Surety Life includes a Rate Book, Reports on Examinations, Retirement Annuity, and Pension Plans; and Surety Investment includes a Chart of Accounts. The majority of documentation for Liberty Investors Benefit Insurance consists of a Closing File, and that for United Fidelity pertains to the purchase of land, architect's plans, and construction details pertaining to the building of its new home office in Addison, Texas. The oversize section contains annual statements of the Surety Indemnity Company, the Surety Life Insurance Company, Liberty Investors Benefit Insurance Company, and United Fidelity Life Insurance Company, as well as blueprints of Phase I of the United Fidelity Life Insurance Company Home Office Building in Addison, Texas.

Record Group 11.4 Record Group 11.4: The Liberty Corporation Archives 1905-1933 1.5 cubic feet including sixty-four folders in two document boxes, Locator Cards for Donor, Accession, and Processed topics, and Subject Cards in a two-drawer Index Card File. Corporate History Please refer to the Corporate History of The Liberty Corporation in the Historical Research Material, Record Group 11.1, for this information. Scope and Content Note Originally, The Liberty Corporation Archives collection was just that, a collection, a catch-all place for records relating to the company, its history, structure and organization, personnel, as well as for material about archival practices and associations. As such, this collection also includes some information about the Southeastern Life Insurance Company. However, most of the records in this collection were not pertinent to the Archives per se and have been placed in other Liberty record groups where similar company, department, and personal records already exist. The records that remain in this collection are pertinent to The Liberty Corporation Archives and document archival practices or contain company information which Robert Ritchie and Records Center managers deemed appropriate. As documented in this collection, Robert Ritchie, as Secretary of the Liberty Life Insurance Company, was also Keeper of the Records. At his request and under his guidance company histories and archival records were collected. This collection documents functions of the archives through records that date from 1905 to 1993. The bulk of these records run from 1979 to 1989. Record categories include, but are not limited to, accessions records, archives information of various types, news clippings concerning Liberty and Southeastern Life, organization charts, record retention manuals and schedules, registers, transmittal and work sheets.
