Carson’s Business
LCominq Year Has Fine Prospects for
bt " Insurance Men of ° -
: the South,
| “Qur business is 25 per cent aheaid
of last year,” said J. T. Carson, of J.
T. Carson & Co. “We are looking for
the biggest business of our career in
Atlanta durieg 1916, The coming
vear looms large with prospects for
insurance men generally, and [ be
lieve this prosperity will be felt in
every department of business life,
“l.oans are being made for all legiti
mate improvements, Money is ecasy.
Any quantity of money may be had for
6 per cent., That means Atlanta and
the entire South will do a great deal
of building.
“The cotton crop ig not the only one
which has brought wealth to the
South Every other product of the
80il hag been good this past year,
“The rallroads are feeling more
prosperous, When the railroads have
money to spend, they spend it. That
helps all lines of business,
41 feel no hesitancy in saying that
my firm expectg to break records dui
ing 1916, and 1 bhelleve every other
business man will tryv 1o do the same.
Prosperity ig here. 't is founded on a
substantial basls of supplyv and de
mand and not on inflated “hoom con
ditions.”
E. T. Luckie, of the Holmes &
Luckle 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 thisg yvear,
“lI 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.
M firm Is principally interested
around Buckhead, and we expect to
build a number of handsome homes
near the two we built in 1915 I 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 goon
belt these properties, and a line will
also be carried a good distance to
ward Roswell from Buckhead
The year will furnish a great deal
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 investing
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 European
war. 1 venture to say that 80 per cent
of all these loans have been paid.
These repayments have given ihe
companies much money for loans
“The war caused most of sthe loan
companies to withdraw from the At
lanta field. Now, they are back again.
The repayment of policyholders’ loans
have given the companies great sur
pluses, Atlanta may now reasonably
expect to borrow money at fair rates
for all legitimate improvements and
other purposed,
“The coming vear is going to prove
that Atlanta is the real Capital of the
South, and that Good Fortune an)
Progperity will make their habitation
here.”

I “This change is sure to be a great
{ help, because we are putting real es
'v:q:n in.its real class and basing our
prices on the return that it promises.
| “I expect a very satisfactory busi

better, and will continue to prove
popular. House renting also will be

i in Atlanta. The Thrower agency did a

and has every reason to be thankful
‘,’nr the past and for what the future
holds.”

Big Business Seen |
By Johnson-Crumley
Plenty of Atlanta. Money Ready Te
Be Loaned for Construc.
tion Work.
1 “Prospects for a big increase in
insurance business were never
‘brighler than right now,” said Floyd
Johnson, of the Johnson-Crumley In
surance Agency. “We are planning
‘lo 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.
“Merchantg 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 field. There is plenty
of 6 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. Hatfield, of
Macon, two places in Macon County,
near Oglethorpe, aggregating 920
acres; to another client 600 acres near
‘Montezuma. In Houston County, they
lha\'e sold to George W. Harman and
'D. M. Parke, of Maysville, a planta
‘tion on the National Highway, near
Perry, congisting of 1,225 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 Philadelphla,
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 heen 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, Daniel, is,
however, the first general agent to he
named for Georgia.
“I believe 1916 is going to be a ban
ner year for insurance and all busi
ness men,” said Mr. Daniels, in com
menting on conditions. “The last
thyee or four months have given in
surance men especially every reason
to believe this. The insurance busi
ness has been thriving. Business is
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 year. 1 believe our work
'will be handsomely rewarded.”
