FIRE INSURANCE COM
PANY A FACTOR.

Above everything else MONEY" is
the greatest need in Arizona and vital
10 its progress. If sufficient money
were put into existing mines to de-
veiop them to their greatest possible
production. the magnitude of the out
put would be beyond belief. Money
is required for the development of
business enterprises: the building Of
highways and railroads; and last. but
still perhaps of greatest Importance
mercy is required by TIE farmer. the
rarcher and the settler in order to
enable him to bring forth the fruits
of the earth in greater abundance and
To bring under cultivation large areas
which are awaiting only the expen-
diture of capital and labor to convert
the desert into a garden.
Corporations operating in Arizona
are of two kinds.
l. Those who take their fruit of our
labor and the wealth of our land
away, out of the territory for the
benefit Of strangers
Arizona republican., 1911-11-06

.. Those who keep money from going
away to outsiders and gather in from other
sections of the country large revenues for
use at home.
No Arizonan should choose the first, as
the last named becomes of tremendous
value and rightfully claims the loyal sup
port of every citizen. The Arizona Fire
Insurance Company. which was organized
last year. is one of the latter. The one
vital feature which affects every AriZonian
is the fact that as it grows and expands
it will he the means of bringing i'm
mense amount of money into the territory.
Few appreciate the possibilities in this
direction This company does not restrict
it's business to its home territory but is
gradually expanding and extending its
operations to cover every part of the
United States.
If consider that in the course of
few years it will bring into this territory
at least 100000 a year. shall then
realize what a great and important factor
this company will be in the building up
of our new state. as all of this money will
be used at home. This truth should sink
deeply into the minds of the people and
lead them to demand of their agent. who
Arizona republican., 1911-11-06

ever he may be. that he place their insur-
ance with the only Home Company" in
preference to the many outsiders which
are bleeding this state by taking the
money we so badly need away from us TO
benefit strangers whose only interest is
how much they can make out of US.
Other advantages of insuring with this
company exist. A fire loss is a serious
matter to the unfortunate victim, particu-
larry to the business man where the
cessation of his business means a large
loss of trade and profit. To be able to
resume business operations with the least
possible delay is a point of vital import
ance The company which can adjust and
pay its losses quickly. is the one to be
preferred because it enables business to be
resumed with a minimum loss of trade pro-
fit between the time of the fire and the
final settlement by the insurance COM
pany
The Arizona Fire Insurance Company
stands pre-eminent in this respect. as its
home office is located right in the terri
tory; all parts can be reached by its adj
busters within forty-eight hours, and
prompt settlement and payment of losses
is one of it's leading principles.

ss.4sO.OO DUE THE COUNTY
BY the Pearl River Lumber Co.'s
SCISSOR COsnahan Digs II up While
Working on Assessment Rolls.

Assessor j. Z. Cosnahan. who is
completing his assessment rolls for
1910 preparatory to making his
final report to the Board of Super
visors at their September meeting,
discovered an amount of IS, ,450. 90
due the county by one concern Sat-
urday.
The Pearl River Lumber Co..
which had been assessed at $780,
900. 90 for the year 1910 had been
inadvertently overlooked on account
of the fact that they had sold out
in March, 1910. to Frank L.
Andrews and Andrews had after
wards transferred his interests,
duly recorded. by a mortgage deed.
On discovering the status Of
affairs, Mr.. Cosnahan issued notice
on Mr.. A. w. Maxwell, the land
agent of the Pearl River Company
here, that the company would be
liable for the 13 mills on $50, 900,
amounting to $3.50. which will
doubtless be collected in due course
Of time.

In rehashing. rehearsing. and

John Allen has simply advertised

the odor Of which has SO long

is conciIiatory. but fearless. Like
a hunted and wouned stag he huids
the yelping pack at bay and defies
the smiling sneak, the arrogant
egotist and the cold bIooded, hypo-
critical viper. He would not tell 4

He has been faithful and diligent
