NEARST'S SUNDAY AMERICAN. ATLANTA, GA., SUNDAY, JANUARY 2. 1916
lnsurance—A Mighty Business
-~ 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
efficient 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.
l Ninety-nine fire companies, fifty-seven life companies, fifty-
Jour casualty companies, and forty-five fraternal and assessment
‘companies have either general or branch agencies in Atlanta.
i 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 coflect
;more than $10,000,000 in premiums every year. All this money
comes directly into Atlanta Por distribution, |
| The work of the various insurance agents in Atlanta puts
them in direct touch with eyery city, village and hamlet in the
entire South. The agencies in Atlanta—general, special and
andividual—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
fire, 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 thol
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 z:; insurance business throughout the
United States has not up to standard. This is true of all
business. 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
iltqmtlon incident to the European war, Gradually these effects
‘have been dissipated. Normality was reached during the latter
'pu-t 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
'sum. This is indicated by the insurance business. |
In Atlanta alone premiums on life insurance policies amounted
to $2,500,000; on fire and marine policies, $1,200,000; and on cas.
valty—in which are included such insurance as accident, phu?
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

in Atianta amounted to $24,500,000 in premiums. 'l'hhymm is
divided into $14,000,000 for life insurance; $6,500,000 for fire and
marine ogmium, and $4,000,000 in casualty premiums. Another
$2,000,000 was paid through agencies in Atlanta on business writ

None of these figures embrace losses and claims paid. These
figures show the income, nottbo"onzo."dnflngmym. |
| Approximately 20 per cent of all the insurance business of
the entire South is done thnn’h Atlanta agencies. For the South
‘eastern section Atlanta does fully 35 per cent of all the Inuinou!

Atlanta insurance men have been working and not talking. That
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 center
of the United States. |
