Talks On Insurance

One of the remarkable things about fire insurance is the enormous profits made by well managed com panes.
 As an illustration three of them which doing business in Alabama, we'll elsewhere show the following results:
 One starting out as dividend mutual company after IA years, converted into stock company with capital stock of S1OO,o00 the change resulting in the stockholders instead of the policyhoders sharing in the profits.
 Up to 1916 this company had paid in dividends to stockholders $3345 900, and in 1920 it's assets had l creased from S1O0 900 OOO 0O0 As the last five years have been the most profitable of any like period the history of insurance the dividends paid amount to approximately $5,000,000.
 As the original investment of the stockholders only S1OOOOO an increase in assets to S10,000 900, atfer paying S5O0oOO0 in dividends and expenses and losses indicates splendid management and profitable business .@of, Another company which in 1898 had surplus of $62 26 had in 1920 surplus of over $11 0O0 and total assets of around S40,OOO,OOO
 Another which in 1906 had a result of the San Francisco conflagration to settle it's loss claims basis of 50 cents the dollar in cash and 50 cents the dollar in stock in the company had in 1920 so far recovered to have in assets $2000OOO0 As its original investment was only s2OO s success may be regarded as phenomenal and it's management be- yond criticism
 The illustrations might be greatly extended but it is sufficient to say that many companies in the last 25 have made in the aggregate hundreds of millions of dollars
 Birmingham is big enough to have strong and suc- cessfu fire insurance company to keep portion of the premiums which go out to other sections here and to aid in the upbuilding of the state.
