Houston for This Pnrposc.

Houston for This Purpose.
The announcement that the New York
Life Insurance company has decided to
divide Texas into two big slices, so far as
it's business is concerned. is a matter of
considerable local interest. and will be
learned with pleasure BY the citizens of
Houston.
Heretofore the Texas headquarters of
this big institution has been at Dallas
Hereafter there will be two Texas head
auarters-the Dallas branch office will be
the center of business for the northern
portion of the State and Houston the head
quarters for South Texas.
Mr.. w. II. Roberts, the agency director
of Louisville, KY, who Will be in charge
of the Houston department, is in the city,
and thus explained what this new arrange
ment would mean: 1T simply indicates
that the New York Life has divided Texas
into two States. The mauagers have real
lied that the State is too large and their
business in 1t too great to allow one town
the privilege of being the central head
quarters for II all.
They have established what may be
considered home institution at Houston,
where the South Texas business will be
conferred We Will pay claims here, re-
ceive premiums and transact whatever
other business that may come before us.
BY establishing headquarters at Hous-
ton We will come in close contact with
the business men and the citizens here
generally. and this will no doubt be to our
mutual benefit, | viii be at all times
ready TO investigate any loan applioa-
tions. or any form of Investment, and will
gladly submit such matters as | can
safely recommend TO our financial COM
mittee in New York"
Mr.. Roberts intends to select his Offices
for the Houston Headquarters today or
tomorrow, and viii proceed at once with
the business of the Houston branch. lie
