Coming Year Has Fine Prospects for
| Insurance Men of
| the South,
“Our business is 25 per cent ahead
of last year,” sald J. T. Carson, of J.
T. Carson & Co. “We are looking for
the biggest business of our career in
Atlanta durlog 1916, The coming
year looms large with prospects for
insurance men generally, and 1 be
lleve this prosperity will be felt in
every department of business life,
“L.oans are being made for all legiti
mate improvements. Money is edsy,
Any quantity of money may he had for
6 per cent. That means Atlanta and
the entire South will do a great deal
of building.
“The cotton crop is not the only one
which has brought wealth to the
South Every other product of the
soil has been good this past vear.
“The rallroads are feeling mora
prosperous, When the rallroads have
money to spend, they spend it. That
helns all lines of buginess,
“1 feel no hesitancy in saying that
my firm expects to hreak records dur
ing 1916, and ! helieve every other
business man will try to do the same,
Prosperity is here, It Is founded on a
substantial basls of supply and de
mand and not on inflated “boom con
ditions.” ‘
E. T, Luckie, of the Holmes &
Luckie Realty Company, and some
times known as ‘“the sage of Buck
head,” because of his development
work in North Fulton County, de
clared yesterday that he expects a
great deal of important real estate
work to be undertaken this vear.
“l 1 expect few new subdivisions to
be opened up,” declared Mr. Luckie,
“but the main part of that character
of work will have to do with devel
oping the subdivisions we already
have. There will be a great deal of
street, sewer, light and gas work.
My firm is principally interested
around Buckhead, and we expect to
build a number of handsome homes
near the two we built in 1915, 1 ex
pect a good many people to seek the
country in the spring, with the two
new universities well started in Ful
ton and DeKalb., Car lines will soon
belt these properties, and a line will
also be carried a good distance to
ward Roswell from Buckhead,
The year will furnish a great dea!
of solid development, in my opinion.”

Maximum Business
Is Expected in 1916
“Every life insurance company do-
Ing business in the South expects to
write its maximum business duriag
1916,” said Sam Williams, of Williams
Bros. “There is reason to believe that
the expectation will be realized.
“Farmers have plenty of money
from their crops. They are investink
some of this money in life insuran-e.
In fact, there is more money now for
Investment in life insurance than at
any time for years past. .
“In times of financial depression,
many policyholders borrow money on
their policies. This was true during
the hard times which obtained prior
to and shortly after the l‘lurnpen}n
war. 1 venture to say that 80 per cent
of all these loans have been paid.
These repayments have given the
companies much money for loans.
“The war caused most of the loan
companies to withdraw from the At
lanta field. Now, they are back again.
The repayment of policyholders’ loans
have given the companlies great sur
pluses, Atlanta may now reasonably
expect to borrow money at fair rates
for all legitimate improvements and
other purposes,
“The coming year i going to prove
that Atlanta is the real Capital of the
South, and that Good Fortune anl
Prosperity will make their habitation
here.”
* “l consider that we are going to
|h.'ne an unusually successful year in
teal estate and renting,” declared J.
H. Whitten, one of the livest land
brokers in Atlanta, and a member of
| the force of the M. 14 Thrower agen
:«}. “While there are still some un
| settled conditions in real estate, there
| s no doubt thatythe situation is great
ily improved and holds great prom
-1.-u for the future During the last
| vear we went through a sort of reor
| ganlzation. Our values were put on a
[ new basis, and a great deal of shoe
[ string speculation was cut off. .
| “This change is sure to be a great
| help, because we are puttling real es
|tate in its real class and basing our
prices on the return that it promises.
“I expect a very satisfactory busi
‘l;O'},‘l in apartments, which are renting
better, and will continue to prove
popular. House renting also will be
!Lm»«k with many newcomers settling
‘i-: Atlanta. The Thrower agency did a
| splendid renting business last year,
and has every reason to be thankful
for the past and for what the future
holds.”

Big Business Seen
By Johnson-Crumley
———
Plenty of Atlanta Money Ready To
Be Loaned for Construc.
tion Work.
“Prospects for a big increase in
insurance business were never
brighter than right now,” said Floyd
Johnson, of the Johnson-Crumley In
surance Agency. “We are planning
to write our biggest business in 1916,
“When the European war began, al
most immediately all the big loan
companies withdrew from the Atlanta
market. This of necessity curtailed
building, thereby materially affecting
the insurance business. But now the
loan companies are anxious to place
money here. I know of one $60,000
apartment house which will be started
in a few weeks. A loan at 6 per cent
was made for this construction.
“Merchants have carried smaller
stocks than in the past. But sales
have been excellent the past fall and
winter. Merchants now are buying
heavily. This brings business to the
insurance man. ’
“We seem to be adjusting ourselves
to war conditions, The loan compa
nies, with hardly a single exception,
are back in the fleld. There ig plenty
of & and 7 per cent money for con
struction.
That the war has had no effect on
farm land sales is evidenced by the
announcement of the Clark-Stewart
Company, with offices at No, 629 Hea
ley Building, of the sale of several
large tracts in Southwest Georgia.
They have sold to U, R, Hatfleld, of
Macon, two places in Macon County,
near Oglethorpe, aggregating 920
acres; to another client 600 acres near
Montezuma, In Houston County, they
have sold to George W, Harman and
D. M. Parks, of Maysville, a planta
tion on the National Highway, near
Perry, consisting of 1,226 acres. The
value of these places exceeds SBO,OOO.
In announcing these sales, J. Gordon
Clark said:
“We have had an unusual demand
for farm lands this fall, and it looks
as if the back-to-the-farm movement
has become a reality, Besides the
sales we have closed, we are negotiat
ing with a number of other clients.
We look for next year to be the great
est in the history of our business.”

W. A, Daniel Named
Agent for Provident
Wallace A. Daniel, who has been
associated with his brother, Thomas
H. Daniel, in the life insurance field
of North Georgia for the past four
teen years, has just been appointed
general agent for the Provident Life
and Trust Company, of Philadelphia,
with headquarters In Atlanta. Ha
was selected from a large list of ap
plicants for the place because of his
experience and general fitness for the
office. Offices have been opened in
the Connally Building.
The Provident Life carries a large
line of insurance on citlzens of
Georgia who have come to this State
from other sections. Mr., Danlel, is,
however, the first general agent to he
named for Georgia.
“I believe 1916 is going to be a han
ner year for insurance and all buai
ness men,” said Mr. Daniels, {in com
menting on conditions. “The last
three or four months have given in
surance men especially every reason
to believe this. The insurance busi
ness has been thriving. Business s
brisk and people generally are mak
ing money. That means business for
the insurance agent.
“We are planning a most active
campaign for the Provident during
the coming vear. 1 believe our work
will be handsomely rewarded.”
