Gates Firm
Insurance
Agency Here

Pioneering in introducing mutual
lines in this field, the Gates Insur-
ance Agency is now nearing its
eighth anniversary in the sale of de-
pendable insurance protection to a
large and growing list of customers.
The concern began business in
April, 1882, at that time represent
ing only two mutual companies.
Through the cooperation OF the in
surfing public, the business has grown
and expanded until today it is the
local agency for long list of divi-
dend-paying, worcestershire mutual
companies.
While writing all forms of insur-
ance, the agency specializes in fire
and Windstorm coverage on mer-
camille buildings and stocks, residen-
tial properties, household goods and
all types of automobile underWrit-
ing.
w. C. Gates, head of the company,
was its founder. He is one of the we'll
known underwater representatives
in the section. He has for many
years been secretary treasurer of the
Henderson KiWanis club and prior
to that time was president of the club
one year. Since he came to Hen
derson, Mr.. Gates has been prominent
in the affairs of the First Baptist
church.
In 1884, Mr.. Gates took his son,
Carvie S. NJ Gates, into the firm with
him as inside man. He was himself
thus freed for more attention to out
side soliciting. The company's office
is located in the HOrner building, op-
posite the post office, on South Gar
nett street, where it has been since
its inception.
Mr.. Gates takes pride in the pro-
gress made by his agency in nearly
seven years of its existence, and of
the loyal support by local business
interests. He began without a single
policy-holder, but today he numbers
both large and small companies on
his lists, including progressive busi-
ness houses and individuals, who
have welcomed the savings accrued
from carrying their risks with Gates
firms. Only strong and non-a assess
able companies are represented in
the mutual field.
Mr.. Gates likewise takes a pride in
his claims service, holding that the
yardstick of insurance measures the
success that attained by the manner
of settlement of just and honest
claims. Losses have been promptly
and properly adjusted.
For many years mutual companies
did their business direct with policy
holders, but in recent times local
agencies have been established, thus
localizing mutual risks and acquaint-
ing the general public with the ad-
vantages offered by strong mutual
organizations. Mr.. Gates is glad to
have had hand in bringing this
type of service to this community
and section, he says.

The collapse of the japanese trade

Armament Race Found
Hindering World Trade

London, Aug. 31-Despite the i'm
petus it has given to certain forms
of industrial activity, re-armament
is restricting the general flow OF
world trade by reducing both ex-
ports and imports, according to re-
port recently issued here by the In

nearly double that of 1887, had Off

Raw material producing countries,
like the United States, because they
were no longer depressed, became
able to sustain their own demand for
manufactured goods.
Having offset depression, the re-
port continues, re-armament had
stimulated the industrial activity of
re-arming nations, which, in its turn
had produced a greater demand for
domestic goods otherwise available
for export Export trade had thus
been encroached on and reduced.
