ABOUT FAIRNESS
Our friend gives these figures for the Western States Life:
Volume Premium Expense of
Insurance income management
1911 $4,356,575 (Not given) $222,884
1910 1,555,350 $42,930 88,148
Figures for 1910 are OFFICIAL.
ile divides the expense for 1911 by Ib.e volume of insur
ance, and "POINTS WITH PRIDE" to the result: 5.1 pet
cent, which he labels, "ACTUAL COST." Notice he docs not
give the premium income for 1911, but we can ascertain that
by comparison. Volume of insurance in 1911 is three limes
that in 1910, consequently premiums received must bo throe
times as great, or about $130,000.
THIS DEMONSTRATES THE FAIRNESS: While be is
"POINTING WITH PRIDE" at " ACTUAL COST" 5.1 per
cent, glance, at the figures again. Income $130,000; expenses
$222,884. Sec the point?
Same process applied to 1910 figures gives "ACTUAL
COST" 5.0 per cent. Income $42,930. Expenses $88,148.
IIow is that for FAIR?
BE FAIR to your loved ones and buy your insurance from
a safe company.

answer, although a long one, will
be answered as follows: The Big
Place at the present lime gives
their patrons more for the money
than any other place. Anheuser
beer on draught, served with
merchant's lunch. TJiis is the
first time that Eastern beer has
been on draught in Alaska, and
the lunch can't, be duplicated any
where. The Rig Place is most
complete in its line of amuse
ments, cigars and bar accommo
dations. It is always boosting for
Valdez, and through doing so is
helping itself. Everyone who is
a resident of Valdez realizes that
even so it's helping their home
and Valdez is now forging to the
front and leaving other places be
hind.
The American Press service
installed in the Iiig Place every
day has treated quite a few sub
scribers, who come in and look at
the pictures of notable events re
produced by photograph. The
Big Place was first and still is the
only one trying to make business
conditions look better by putting
on 8-hour shifts. Everybody is
welcome to make it their head
quarters and lounging place and
the public is heartily welcome to
do likewise, with no restrictions
don't have to spend your mpney
if you don't want to. All we ask
is your presence—that alone
makes us alive. Deliver the
goods to the Valdez people and
they will be your patrons and
boost for them and they will boost
for you.
The American Press service for
today: American Soliders March
ing Through Pekin Streets, pic
tures of the men who arc lead
ing one million coal strikers in
Great, Britain, children sent to
Washington as living arguments
for Lawrence strikers, London
again buzzes with SufTragcttes.
Weather forecast for Valdez:
March, business is fair; April,
business is better; May, business
is good.
Visit the Rig Place, the largest
on the Alaskan coast; throw in
with the boosters and be a live
one.
