TIRE time to its practice. Then, how can an
inexperienced man possibly know anything
about 1T? How can he know when his policy
holder is protected? The average man takes
up the insurance business until he can get
something else to do, or until he finds that
there is more to it than singing his name
and pocketing his commissions. He then
elther drops it, or gets some insurance man
OF experience to take the burden off his
shoulders
How many people can think of who have
paid their good money for insurance protec-
tIon, but instead, have bought a lawsuit?
How many concers have started and then
shifted the burdens to them who knew how
to carry them?
Ten or twelve years ago. the f. d. Kits
Agency started, and seemed to do a nice
business This Agency, with twenty years
experience, IS now taking care of that bust
ness
The Harman Agency then started, and
iiourished for while. We are taking care of
that business
The Tazewell Agency followed, but we are
now taking care of that business
Then followed the F. W. Pendleton Insur-
ance Agency, which was later incorporated,
and we are now taking care of that Agency's
business.

TEMPORARY HALT IN THE
TELEPHONE

TELEPHONE MERGER
The latest in that telephone deal is
that an independent company is to be
organized, separate the automatic
from the tunnel company and lease
the automatic to the Bell phone
trust.
The game is to beat the city or
dinance prohibiting the merger of the
Bell and Automatic.
Before council the chief objection
to the merger was that the phone
users would have to pay whatever the
Bell paid for the Automatic, because
the Bell would increase its capitalize
ton that much, and increase rates.
City Electrician Palmer valued the
Automatic at 100000, and the Bell
was to pay $6,300,000 for it.
President Sunny admitted that if
the city permitted the tunnel COM
pany to sell the Automatic, it would
ultimately come under control of the
Chicago Co., which is owned by the
Bell trust.
1t looks as if an attempt will be
made to jam the thing through and
give the phone trust monopoly in
Chicago.
