II have read your article comparing

beauty to the younger woman. I have
known several very handsome women

you say. they were mothers. l am now
s~eventy-fve years old. but I remember

not made up; they did not study how
to look young; never thought OF paint

were handsome because they were
happy. When they saw their husbands

cared for nothing else.
The forty-yesr-old woman of the

KEEP MONEY AT HOME.

Editorial Arizona Democrat Jan. 21st, 1911)
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 its business in developing Arizona,
and is the only corporation of it's 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
Heyman 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 firstclass This, too, is true of our
clothing houses. Goldberg Bros, the Hub
and the MeDougall -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 a
Phoenix-an Arizona institution. 1t is
honest, is fair in its dealings, and it is en-
titled to the entire insurance business of
this city and territory.
