NEARST’S SUNDAY AMERICAN. ATLANTA, GA., SUNDAY, JANUARY 2. 1916
Insurance—A Mighty Businessl
Force
’ TLANTA is the fourth largest insurance center in the United
A States. Thirty million dollars pass through the banks of
Atlanta every year as the result of the payment of premi
ums on all classes of insurance. Another $10,000,000 is paid out
through Atlanta banks in settlement of losses and claims.
Every great and progressive insurance company is repre
sented in Atlanta by one or more of the highest paid and most
{emcient representatives, The purely local agents are considered
‘among the best to be found anywhere. They are live, alert busi
‘ness men who have made a careful study of their profession. What
they do and say is taken as authoritative, and on their actions is
based the actions of most of the insurance agents of the entire
South.
Ninety-nine fire companies, fifty-seven life companies, fifty
four casualty companies, and forty-five fraternal and assessment
companies have either general or branch agencies in Atlanta. '
In the fire insurance field alone, agencies in sixteen States
report directly to the general agents in Atlanta. In these sixteen‘
States there are close to 10,000 fire insurance agents who collect
‘more than $10,000,000 in premiums every year. All this money
,comes directly into Atlanta for distribution.
l The work of the various insurance agents in Atlanta puts
them in direct touch with every city, village and hamlet in the
}entire South. The agencies in Atlanta—general, special and
lindividual—-cover the thirteen Southern States like a blanket.
No better indication of prosperous conditions can be found
‘than the business done by insurance agents, whether they deal in
}flre, life, accident or any of the other various casualty policy lines. ‘
| And Atlanta insurance men have prospered during the past
year. ,
} Each and every one of them looks forward to 1916 with thos
firm belief that it will be a banner year. Surely this is proof that
Atlanta is entering the best year of her civic and business career.
| During the past {::: insurance business throughout the
’Unflltod States has not up to standard. This is true of all
ibnsinm. But during the last three or four months of 1915 busi.
ness has seen a great revival Particularly is this true of
‘insurance. !
| At the opening of 1915 the country was feeling the business
stagnation incident to the European war. Gradually these effects
‘have been dissipated. Normality was reached during the latter
‘part of the summer. Since that time business has been brisk. |
Though the depression was felt in Atlanta, it was not felt to
‘the same extent that it was in many other parts of the United
States. This is indicated by the insurance business. 3
| In Atlanta alone premiums on life insurance policies amounted
to $2,500,000; on fire and marine policies, $1,200,000; and on cas
ualty—in which are included such insurance as accident, plate
glass, automobile, etc.—sß,ooo,ooo. In other, words, the total
amount paid for protection by the citizens and business men of
Atlanta, resident within the confines of the city proper, amounted
to $4,500,000. |
The Georgia State business controlled and written by agents
in Atlanta amounted to $24,500,000 in premiums. This sum sis
divided into 31(.0“;:0:0 ':or life insurance; $6,500,000 for fire and
marine ums, 000,000 in casualty premiums. Another
sz.ooo.mu paid through agencies in Atlanta on business writ.
ten in distant cities and reported through Atlanta. 1
None of these figures embrace losses and claims paid. These
figures show the income, nottho"oum."dnrin(tboym. |
Approximately 20 per cent of the insurance business of
the entire South is done throu’h Atlanta agencies. For the South.

While other sections have been talking about ‘‘hard times,''
Atlanta insurance men have been working and not talking. ;I.:'at,
is the spirit of all Atlanta business men—to work harder when
business is not brisk. That's what makes Atlanta the leading city
of the South; what has made it the fourth largest insurance ontcrl

“We are looking forward to the
