SAYS BIRMINGHAM
 IS THE BEST TOWN insurance Man Compares At- nnta With Magic City From Business Standpoint

That Birmingham is a good place in which to do business--a far better place than Atlanta, for instance---is the writ ten testimony deliberately and openly recorded by A. M. Burton. president of the Life and Casualty company of Ten nessee.
 Writing to his district superintend ent whose headquarters are in Bir- mingham, Mir. Burton says: Having placed your figures beside those of At lanta, I note that your gain in prem ium income is double that of Atlanta This comparison indicates two things; \ First, you have stronger staff of men second. Birmingham is the better city,
 MT. Burton sent 8 copy of his letter to 0. l.. Bum, general manager of the Chamber of Commerce. The letter reads:
 Nashville, Tenn, November 22. IL. M. Hulme District Superintendent
 Birmingham, Ala:
 Dear Sir: l am sure it will be of much interest to you and your 42 field men to learn of the progress your dis trict has made for the past 12 months as compared with the company's good showing ana especially thdI Ol some Ol the other large districts.
 Having placed your figures beside those of Atlanta, I note that your gain in premium income is double that of Att lanta. This comparison indicates two things: First, you have strong CT staff of men; second, Birmingham is the better city
 rising your record for the first 10 months of this year as a guide. the Life and Casualty Insurance company will collect s2so,000 in your territory this year. which is an increase of $S0,O00 over 1919. The company will show gain this year over last in premium income of about $1,500.000. which brings our gross income this year to something over $5,00O,000 All this gain has been made in territory we operated in last year; therefore we ask for no stronger testimonial than the good will and. con- fidence manifested in this substantial way by the southern people. h q am pleased tos note that your weekly report show there is no panic or near-panic in Birmingham.
 MT. Bum was so far from disagree ing with MT. Burton that he wrote in reply a letter, from which this is an extract:
 Tt is true that the census gives Att lanta a small majority of population, but when you stop to consider that dur ing the civil war Atlanta was a full- grown city and that Birmingham is just Celebrating her fiftieth anniversary, you can, appreciate the fact that, when we are as old as Atlanta, that city will look like village compared with Bir- mingham."
