THE INSURANCE MEN.
An Agreement to Form a New Associa-
tion Reached by the Monterey
Convention.

tion Reached by the Monterey
Convention.
Many of the insurance men who at
tended the recent convention of under
writer's at Monterey came home last even
ing. The statement was made by we'll
posted agent that practically an agree
ment was reached. which will put an end
to the reckless rate-cutting which de-
stroyed the profits of the insurance busi-
ness in this State during the year 1895.
Only three agents refused to subscribe to
the agreement. 1t is expected that these
three will consent to the terms proposed
within a few days.
The most perplexing question presented
was that relating to salaries and commits
sion. A vigorous pressure was brought to
bearto place brokers, solicitors and city
agents on a commission basis pure and
simple. Objection to the payment of
salaries in Oakland. San Jose and other
towns was made. AS far as can be ascer-
tained. the new association will favor the
commission principle.
1t is thought that the association will
take the old compact rates as the basis for
a new schedule, but will shade down the
prices somewhat and perhaps offer a
material reduction. This, however is
matter OF conjecture at present. The

In the filing of prescriptions the average person
is in the dark the and the contents of the
medicine, consequently has to rely on the honesty
and reliability of the Druggist who dispenses the
drugs The majority of the Druggists of San
Francisco pay commission of % to so per cent TO
the physicians who send their prescriptions to
them. This being the case, how the ''Com-
mission Druggist be honest? For instance, a
physician writes prescription for bottle Lis
terne, regular price 75c bottle (actual wholesale
cost 66c). On this the Commission Druggist
sdivies'' with the physician 20 or so per cent. To
person on the outside it looks If the Druggist
was out and injured. BUT HE Is NOT. He Just
substitutes vile imitation of Listerine costing SOC
per gallon. There are, the other hand, a re-
spectacle class of physicians-and they are nu-
merous-who will not accept commission from any
Druggist. This element of the profession we cater
to and have their entire confidence, as they know
take liberties with their prescriptions. filing
all prescriptions exactly ordered and pay no
commission to any doctors. The confidence in us
held by the public of San Francisco is proven by
the fact that we dispensed over 80 900 prescriptions
in 1885, a larger number than dispensed by any
store in the State.
