METROPOLITAN
DOES EXCELLENT
BUSINESS HERE

Celebrating the fact that the To-
cal agency of the Metropolitan Life
Insurance company made the best
showing during the summer months
out of 12 districts competing. and
this in spite of the fact that the
summer months in Imperial Valley
are the least favorable for doing
business, a dinner is to be given
tonight at the Barbara Worth,
with two distinguished officers of
the company in attendance.
F. j. Williams OF San Francisco,
third president of the COM
pany and manager of the Pacific
coast division, and j. H. Almy, su-
pervisor of agencies, arrived yes
terday to attend tonight's banquet.
When interviewed this morning
by a Press Reporter. Williams COM
plimented the valley agency and G.
G.. Beynon, district manager, on
their excellent showing, and ex-
pressed his surprise and delight in
the valley, saying that the rapid
growth made in the past 90 years
was a revelation to one who came
from New England where progress
is of slower growth In view of the
strides that have been made by the
community, he predicted great
future.
Asked how the insurance busi-
ness was withstanding the finan-
cial depression, Williams said that
insurance companies in general,
and the Metropolitan in particular,
had done an excellent business dur
ing the past year, citing the fact
that the local agency had done q
quarter of million dollars worth
of business since January /, ard
that there is already in force in the
valley S3,500,OO0 insurance with the
Metropolitan
Has Big Year
In the seven states comprising
the Pacific coast division, a gain
OF 6la million dollars insurance has
been made by the company while
the total insurance in force is over
a billion dollars. AS matter OF
fact the company has had the big
gest year in group insurance that
it has ever had. and the ordinary
insurance has made a substantial
gain. he said.
Williams stated that nothing has
happened to give the public lack
of confidence in life insurance while
the recent stock market decline has
created an uncertainty in the pub
lie mind in regard to buying OF
stocks and other commodities.
The Metropolitan is the largest
company in the world, operating in
~ countries. and is proud of the
fact that in the past year every di-
vision has a higher payroll than
obtained in the high peak of 1929
and that no reduction in employees
has been made. The San Fran
cisco head office has added SO en-
ployees during the past year.
That the company has confidence
in the west was pointed out b.
Williams, due to the fact that over
100 per cent of its reserve is in
vested in this district. over $4,000
having been spent in California last
year for buildings and equipment
He expressed the belief that in
surance has done great deal for
the country in teaching people TO
be thrifty and to form systematic
habits Of saving, so that more and
more they are turning to this meth
od of investment.

Santa's wife fills the stockings in

Befana, a witch-like woman, comes
instead of Santa Claus.
1t seems that on the night the
Three Wise Men started to search
for the manger where the Christ
Child lay, they passed the house
where Befana lived.
Come with us to seek the Christ
Child" they said.
Befana shook her head. Il have

And so, as a punishment. she must
spend all her life sweeping, except
the night before Christmos when
she stops long enough to deliver
gifts to Italian children.
