Mr.. Leonard followed Mr.. Nesbit
and urged the members to take out
additional insurance. He said that
the business was on the increase
and that the Merchants Mutual was
reinsuring all the business it could
not handle in other companies His
company had so far very little loss
and was doing WELL
He called attention to the coming
state convention of the Merchants
and urged the members to attend. He
said that he expected to have the
largest meeting in the history OF
the association. He stated that he
wuold have them to meet and dis
cuss their problems, and if they had
anything to recommend in a body tC
the Association as a whole that they
would do so.
He spoke of the workings of the
association in the state, and stated
that while some of the local organ
izations had disbanded that as q
whole they were on the increase.
The organization was still suffer.
ing under the imputation that it had
been boosting prices when the mer,
chants were selling out their stocks
at less than cost, or the replacement
value.
But he believed that the people did
not entertain as much hostility to-
wards the retail merchants now as
during the war.
He stated that the merchants Of
the state would put on a campaign
to raise funds to acquaint the people
with their side of the case and fight
hostile legislation. The merchants
however, were not resorting to under
hand methods. They simply felt
that they had their rights and that
if the people understood their con
dion and are kept informed the
merchant would have more sympa-
thizers among them.
The meeting was presided over by
President Starr and Miss Culpeppel
was at her post as secretary.

MERCHANTS ASSOCIATION MEET

~ 4
The Merchants Association held an
interesting meeting last night
Messrs. C. F. Nesbit an insurance ex-
pert, and Mr.. ]. Paul Leonard Secre-
present and delivered interesting ad-
| dresses.
A number of the Wilson members
of the Association are carrying insur-
| ance in the Merchants Mutual Insur-
| ance Company which is sponsored by
| the state Association, and Mr. Nesb!t
! addressed the members at length
on the advantage of taking out in
having the profits returned to them,
after the expenses of operation are
paid. This is not the case he said
with reference to the stock COM
panies where the profits go to the
| stockholders.
The address of Mr.. Nesbit was very
| interesting along general lines. He
stated in the course of his remarks
1000 in insurance and the fires a
mounted to an average of O,O0O,-
900.
| Mr.. Nesbit went over the different
lines of insurance now being handled
| by Mutual companies. He said that
great many lines were now insuring
their particular business and carrying
| the risks, and that this had proven
very beneficial from a number OF
| standpoints. The various lines of
| business had found that by edu-
| eating their members to safeguard
| their property against fires they had
been able to reduce their own insur-
| ance to a great extent. He named the
| lumber business for instance which
| has been considered one of the great
est of risks and naturally carried a
heavy premi'Sm. A number of years
ago lumber men were paying a rate
of $500 per hundred, and by cooper
alton and studying the best methods
of fire protection they had been able
to reduce the fire loss and conse-
quentIy increase the earnings of the
companies, and reduce the cost of
insurance to the policy holders as
we'll
Mr.. Nesbit's talk regarding fire
protection, the kind of buildings to
be erected against fire was also in
teresting He said that during the
war there were a great many fires
in grain elevators, which the govern
ment believed due to incendiarism,
but that he believed they were caus-
ed from carelessness on account of
the rapid handling of grain which
was going abroad.
The government sent to the in
surance managers and told them that
unless the fires ceased the govern
ment would place their inspectors at
the elevators. The fires became less
frequent the insurance men informing
the government that it would take
care of the situation.
Mr. Nesbit said that mutual COM
panies were saving their patrons
from twenty five to thirty percent in
return premiums or decreased in
