The subject Of establishing in BIZ
is one that is being agitated by
number of Biloxi business men. These
men are heavy insurers and men of
means. They are weary Of paying
the high rates of insurance which
they are compelled to. pay in Biloxi
and they see no avenue of relief ex-
cept through the organization of an
independent company. In few days
a representative of the combination
of insurance companies which pre-
walls in this country, and is gener
ally known as an Underwater AS
sociation, will visit Biloxi, and it is
rumored that he will raise insurance
Mates here. This is but an added
stimulus to the movement to or
ganize a home company.
Such a company as is being talked
of is now being operated successful
ly in Windfall, Ind, and also in
estimated that the people of Biloxi
are now paying annually for fire in
surance the sum of $780, 900 in premi
ums. Of this, about 81 900 is re-
turned in losses. 1t is believed that
the organization of a home company
will reduce the rates materially and
;r
will be kept at home instead of being
drained out by foreign corporations.
There seems to be no hope of get
ting lower rates from the companies.
Though the fire department has been
trebled in efficiency in the past
three years, the insurance companies
have completely ignored this and
have not made the slightest reduc-
ton in rates. Biloxi's fire depart
ment will take rank with that of any
other city in the south of the same
population, and there are few cities
of it's size in the entire country that
can boast of a department of greater
efficiency.
1t is also suggested thai building
association could be coupled with the
insurance company. The whole plan
appears to be feasible and all that
is needed is for number Of busi-
ness men of some means and in
whom there is confidence to form a
company on a business basis.-Biloxi

Effie, the little daughter of a
clergyman, pranced into her fathers
study one evening while the reverend
gentleman was preparing a long SER

looked curiously at the manuscript
for a moment, and then turned to her
father. Papa, she began seriously,
does God tell you what to write?
Certainly, my dearie, replied the
clergyman. Then why do you scratc
so much of it out, asked Effie.

of applications is about the same as
charatcerizes the initial competition,
and as there are several days left
before the list closes the indications
are that there will be full roll for

ABOUT ADVERTISING--NO. 9
The Dollar That Can't
Be Spent
Bv Herbert Kaufman

Every dollar spent in advertising is not
only seed dollar which groq0s profit for the
merchant but is actually retained by him even
after he has paid it to the publisher.
Advertising creates good q0iH worth the
cost of the publicity.
1t actually costs nothing. While it uses
funds it does not use them UP. 1t helps the
founder of business to grow rich and at the
same time keeps his business from not dying
when he does.
1t eliminates the personal equation. Hper-
petuates confidence in the store and makes it
possible for a merchant to qUthdraqU from bnsi-
ness without having the Profits of the business
zOithdrayn from him. 1t changes a name to-
an institution-an institution that will snrOtUe
after the death of its builder.
1t is really an insurance policy which costs
nothing-bays a premium each year instead OF
calling for one, and renders it possible to
change the entire personnel of a business
without disturbing its prosperity.
Advertising renders the business stronger
than the man-independent of his presence. 1t
permanentizes systems of merchandising, the
track of which is left for others to follow.
A business which is not advertised must
rely upon the personality of its proprietor, and
personality in business is decreasing factor.
The public does not qUant to knoaO the man who
owns the store it isn't interested in him, but
in his goods. When an unadvertsed business
is sold it is only worth as much as its stock of
goods and fixtures. There is no good will to
be paid for-it does not exist-it has not been
created. The name over the door means MOTH
ing except to the limited stream of people
from the immediate neighborhood, any of
whom could tell you more about some store
ten miles away which has regularly delivered
its shop news to their breakfast tables.
1t is as shortughted for a man to build
business which dies q0ith his death or ceases
with his inaction as it is unfair for him not
to provide for the continuance Of its income to
his family.
