An interesting feature in connee-

the announcement that Armour &

the deal was negotiated on basis

The scheme for tunnel between

KEEP MONEY AT HOME.

Editorial from the Arizona Democrat 21st 1910
The Occidental Life Insurance Company
of Arizona is peculiarly home institution
and is Justly entitled to the undivided sup
port of the people Of Arizona. This cor
poration is utilizing the funds secured
through it's business in developing Arizona,
and is the only corporation of its kind doing
business in the territory. The people as
rule are prone to send. their money abroad
for investment. Many Phoenix people, and,
in fact people throughout the territory,
send to Los Angeles and other cities for
their dry goods, clothing, furniture etc.
The real truth of the matter is they could
secure just as good goods in Phoenix as
they buy in those cities, and just as cheap.
We have the finest dry goods establish
ments, clothing stores and furniture en-
poriums in the southwest The Doris
Newman furniture establishment has few
equals, if any, on the coast This is true as
regards dry goods The New York and
Boston stores, and the GoldWater Bros, are
all first-class This, too, is true of our
clothing houses. Goldberg Bros, the Hub
and the McDougall- Cassou establishments
are all first class, and the prices are reas-
enable.
Then why send to Los Angeles for your
goods? These men all pay taxes in Phoenix
and contribute in every way to it's upbuild-
ing, and it is crime to send your money to
Los Angeles or any other outside city for
things you can purchase at home.
Now this same rule applies to the life in
surance business. The Occidental is
Phoenix-an Arizona institution. 1t is
honest, is fair in it's dealings, and it is en-
titled to the entire insurance business OF
this city and territory.
