Backbone of Credit

The stock fire insurance industry
was established and has been main
tained on the principle that adequate
profits must be made In order to pro
tect the policyholder-and that. al
the same time. the cost of insurance
to the public must be progressively
reduced.
These two purposes may seem at
odds, but the industry has shown
that they can be achieved. The finan-
cial position OF the companies has
been strengthened and the cost of
stock fire insurance is today 40 per
cent less, on the average. than II
was in 1900.
In other words, the industry has
found ways and means of reducing
the cost of doing business and It has
invariably shared these savings with
its policyholders. For three-quarters
OF century. the industry has fought
on behalf of fire prevention and fire
protection. and success has followed.
The entire country has been includ-
ed In an elaborate system whereby
cities, towns and villages are In
spected and graded IN : the light of
hazards. The industry has establish
ed a bureau for testing the fire re-
sistance of electrical equipment.
building materials and other pro-
ducts-a work which is of major i'm
portance in conserving life and prop
erty from destruction by fire. The
cumulative effect of these activities
has been to save the country bill
lions OF dollars-in reduced insur-
ance premiums, lower fire loss. and
other indirect costs that are an in
sscapable part Of fire waste.
Fire insurance is the backbone Of
he nations credit-without II. no |
nan could take the risks involved in
and operating business.
The fire insurance industry has
made a magnificent contribution to
he progress and maintenance Of our
pndern civilization :

Farm Cooperation Similar

There is considerable misunder-
standing OF the agricultural coopera-
tive marketing movement. Yet, no
movement could be simpler or foun-
ded ON more proven principles.
One farmer, producing and SELL
ing his goods, takes what he is Of
fered, whether the price is fair or
not, or goes without a sale. He
deals with groups whose economic
power is much greater than his.
When a thousand farmers band
together, put up the money, and
create cooperative to handle sales
OF their products, they are marely
following the old adage OF United
we stand. divided we fall" They
achieve real bargaining power. and
can deal on basis of equality with
the buyer. A farm cooperative has
great many points OF basic SINH
larity to commercial corporations.
