MEARST'S SUNDAY AMERICAN. ATLANTA, GA., SUNDAY, JANUARY 2, 1916,
Insurance—A Mighty Business
Vo G LR e
| 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. Amother $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.
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 fleld 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. |
| The work of the various insurance agents in Atlanta putli
them in direct touch with every city, village and hamlet in the
entire South. The encies in Atlanta—general, special and
individual—cover the ‘&irusen 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
}nre, life, accident or any of the other various casualty policy Hnu.l
And Atlanta insurance men have prospered during the past
year.
| Each and every one of them looks forward to 1916 with tho‘
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::r insurance business throughout the
United States has not been up to standard. This is true of all
‘business. But during the last three or four months of 1915 busi
lnm has seen a great revival Particularly is thic 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
Ipcrt 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. |
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 mflued such insurance as agcident,- plate
glass, automobile, ete. 000,000. 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 $4,5600,000. |
| The Georgia State business controlled and written by agents
in Atlanta amounted to $24,500,000 in premiums. This sum is
divided into $14,000,000 for life insurance; $6,500,000 for fire and
marine o&mim and $4,000,000 in casualty premiums. Another
$2,000,000 was paid through agencies in Atlanta on business writ. |
ten in distant cities and reported through Atlanta. |
None of these figures embrace losses and claims paid. ‘l'bcu’
figures show the income, not the “ou:n." during the year. f
1 Approximately 20 per cent of all the insurance business of
’fln entire South is done th.rou’h Atlanta agencies. For the South.

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 mtcr;
of the United States. ;
In the betterment of business in Atlanta many causes have
