THE G. Lopez
BAILEY COMPANY
One of Fiou62's Largest and Most
Progressive Insurance Agencies.

In the 6. Lopez Bailey Company,
Palatka possesses one of the largest
and oldest insurance agencies in the
State OF Florida The company was
organized over twenty years ago
on February I, 1889, to be exact-by
the same gentleman whose name it
bears, and Mr.. Bailey has remained
its president and general manager
ever since.
Starting without resources beyond
a bulldog determination to succeed,
Mr. Bailey and his associates have
had the satisfaction Of seeing their
business grow to such an extent thai
last year the premium receipts alone
amounted to nearly 100000 Mr.
Bailey was teller of the First National
Bank of Palatka before embarking in
the insurance business, and it is very
interesting to hear him tell of the
trials and nerve-testing incidents con-
nected with the foundation of the
agency.
At the same time large share of
his success may be traced to his abil-
ity in selecting efficient co-workers.
The company now employs ten trav-
cling representatives among whom
are counted many of the best business
getters now covering the State. An
office force of seven takes care of the
home business, and is added to from
time to time.
Thirty-nine of the most famous and
substantial insurance companies in
the world do business through the
Bailey agency. To mention all their
names would be to call to mind most
of the leading insurance concerns OF
the United States and Great Britain,
and also draw attention to the fact
that Palatka is linked to the great
financial centers by the strongest ties
III the world-conhdence and money
For twenty years the G. Lopez Bal,
ley Company managed Florida terri
tory for the Germania Life Insurance
Company, and during that time built
up splendid business for the com,
pany. At present the agency of which
he is president is acting as State rep
rcsentative for the Hartford Life In,
surance Company of Hartford, Conn,
one OF the old line companies of the
country the management of which
has always been marked by the high
est standard of honor and efficiency
AT every stage of its existence the
Hartford Life has stood the test OF
the most rigid investigations by State
and government insurance commits
sions, and the soundness of its fnan-
cial policies has come to be proverb-
ial.
During the past twelve years the
Hartford Life has made a specially

ordinary forms, many very attractive
special policies are issued, such as
those allowing increased benefits,
guaranteed cash settlements, fixed
yearly increase in protection, and
calling for return of paid-in pre-

payment of premiums in installments
ii preferred, and the most up-to-date
form OF monthly income policy is
also in operation.
Judging from the gratifying ~Iccess
that has already been realized in
handling the State business of the
Hartford Life, the Bailey Agency will
break all the records in policy-writng
they have heretofore held, during the
present year.
G. Lopez Bailey is native OF
Charleston, S. c., and a member OF
one of the distinguished old Revolu-
tonary families there. lie was elect
ed mayor of Palatka in 1890, the year
following his opening here. He has
not sought public Office since, as the
demands made upon his time by the
study of insurance and all the business
details connected Herewith have been
too insistent
Policy-holders throughout this part
of the State have in many instances
found that they were accorded better
and more prompt service in all things
pertaining to insurance by patroniz
ing the Bailey Agency instead OF
seeking information and assistance in
the metropolis. The officers and
clerks in charge have insurance
| knowledge to the minutest detail at
their inger-tips, and through the
study of the different business meth
DDS and peculiar advantages of the
many companies which they represent
they are able to convince any one in
any walk of life whatsoever that in
surance is a system of safeguarding
life and property that has not only
come to stay, but is as necessary as
! is the possession of life and property
itself Germany and some of the
other progressive European countries
have made certain forms of insurance
compulsory. Anyone desiring to
learn the reasons behind this great
movement, which is as interesting as
the history of civilization iself, can
not spend an hour to better advan-
tage than by calling at the Bailey
Agency and listening to one of the
representatives. tell the story at first
hand.
Mr.. Bailey, the president and found
er of the company, is also president
of the Palatka Gas Light and Fuel
Company, and enjoys the conidenl
and friendship of the people of Put
nam county to large degree.
Mr.. ]. Walter Hillard, the present
secretary and treasurer, is also one of
the most popular young business men
that Palatka can claim, and is in great
demand for his genial, witty DISPOSE
ton. He is member of number
of local organizations, including the
Board of Trade.

AN IMPORTANT
WHOLESALE HOUSE
Gay Brothers Establishment Oldest
in the Field.

Palatka is one of the important
wholesale distributing points of Flor
ida, and Gay Brothers, wholesale
grocers, is firm that has done much
to put the city on the commercial
map. The concern was established
in 1884 at the corner of Kirby and
Kirkland Streets, but removed TO the
present large brick structure at Lemon
and Water Streets about ten years
ago, retaining the original building
for retail purposes.
During their thirty years residence
here, Gay Brothers, have witnessed
many striking changes in the local
business world They have seen
Palatka grow from small village
to an up-to-date center, with resour-
ces aggregating several million dol
lars. The evolution of their own
business has not been the least inter
esting of the things that have taken
place. From one small room they
have gradually spread out until they
now occupy two commodous build
ings of their own, and warehouses on
all railroad and steamboat lines en-
tcring the city.
Gay Brothers afford a conspicu-
Gus example of the development of a
large and fourishing business from a
small beginning by reliable dealing
ard efficient service to the public.
All of these gentlemen were natives
of New York. Attracted by the op-
portunties offered in Florida, they
came to Palatka with modest CAPT
tai measured in money, but with cX-
perience and ability which have stood
the test of years and proved them ca
pable at all times of making the most
of every occasion to enlarge their
field of operations and improve their
system to keep step with the gener-
al expansion of trade. Most of their
business is done through correspond
ence, and they carry on their books
large number of the dealers doing
business throughout the surrounding
counties. Here in Palatka large re-
tail department is run, and is a huge
success, as they buy the best goods
in quantities large enough to enable
them to sell at rock-bottom prices.
The company acts as special agent
for Chase & Sanborn's high grade
coffees, Armours "Star" brand hams,
.Swift's premium" hams and bacon,
Roy ,Sculeys brand canned goods,
Van Camps Corn and Canned Goods,
the National Biscuit Company's pro-
ducts, Hecker's flour and cereal prep
arations, the Franco-American soups,
and many other famous brands OF
goods. The most liberal terms are
offered hotels, restaurants, boarding
houses and all institutions using large
consignments of provisions. Since
their establishment in Palatka, other
houses have come and gone, but the
Gay Brothers have not ceased their
upward climb toward supremacy for
single day
The company owns its own build
ings, with the exception OF the ware,
houses. The main building at the foot
of Lemon Street is one of the largest
mercantile structures between Jack
sonville and Tampa, 1t is in houses
like that of Gay Brothers that Palatka
finds the greatest cause for confidence
in the business future of the city.
II is especially worthy of note that
