ROSES STORE At
GAINESVILLE LOST
Henderson Concern Heavy
Loser in Tornado In Geor-
gia on Monday

The new store at Gainesville, Ga,
of the Rose 5-10-25c Stores Company
Of this city, was almost completely
that city early Monday, the company
has been informed by the manager
The front was virtually torn away
together with the rear wall and the
roof, and on top OF that merchandise
not destroyed or blown away was
soaked in the torrential rain that fol-
lowed the windstorm.
The store was one Of the newer ones
in the company's chain of 81 in five
southern states. 1t was opened only
last year, when the company entered
Georgia for the first time with five
new stores. Many thousands of dol
lars damage was done by the storm
to the building and the stock. and,
while the company did not own the
building itself, it had long lease and
had recently spent much money in
remodeling it to suit its own needs.
There was no tornado insurance and
the damage was done by the wind.
Copies of the New. York Daily
News arriving here today, of that
papers Monday afternoon issue, car
ried a large photograph on its front
page of tornado wreckage in Gaines
willie, with the Rose store in the cen
ter of the picture. giving a vivid pic
ture of the damage to the building.
The photograph was sent by ASso-
ciated Press wire photo from Atlanta
to New York during the day Mon
day.
r. w. Bruin and Elmer Rose, of
the home offices of the company here,
left yesterday for Gainesville as soon
as they could get away after being
advised of the terrific loss suffered in
the tornado
Plans for the restoration of the de-
stroyed property are being held up at
the home office here pending a re-
port by Mr.. Bruin and Mr.. Rose, but
it is expected the store will be re-
placed as soon as possible.

Wind
Insurance
7OtuIHeYe

insurance men here worked virtual
~ at capacity during most of Mon
day and today in writing tornado in
surance for their customers. as the
result of the tornado that struck
Greensboro last Thursday night and
the terrific devastation in five south
ern states early Monday
Practically all business property
and probably most of the residential
property in Henderson is insured
against fire damage but comparative
ly little has hitherto been covered
with tornado protection, it is under
stood. The closeness of the Green's
boro disaster to Henderson, and then
with the Mississippi and Georgia de-
vastation on the heels of that, aroused
local people as they have perhaps
never before been startled by wind
storm damage.
Property owners realized that it
mattered nothing as to how much fire
insurance they may have, it would
avail them nothing if they were wiped
out by wind. And such a loss would
be without recourse, and might easily
be ruinous in many instances.
Riders attached to a fire insurance
policy are ample to cover tornado
losses; and in many instances that is
the form the new protection is TAX
ing. The rate is very cheap, and many
property owners are taking quick adj
vantage of the protection. Approach
of a tornado cannot be forecast It
comes quickly and departs as speedily
and often its destruction is even
greater than a fire ravage
