The following comparison wlli Hlustrate my pfcirft. Fig

The difference betwfteft spending 12 per cent, of the
premium income for management expenses and spending 200
per cent, illustrates the difference between a 8AFE company

ultimately, but you cannot affofd t6 t&ke fe ohance.

Don't Be a "Knocker"
BI T IF YOU AIlE GOING TO KNOCK BE FAIR IN YOUR
STATEMENTS.
Don't Tell Half Truths
The figures given in the statement printed in yesterday's
paper, directed against the WESTERN STATES LIFE INSUR
ANCE CO., of San Francisco, were true as far as they went,
hut they failed to state that this Company did not commence
business until I he month of October, 1910, and that, there
fore, the figures given covered only the first three months
business of that Company and included the usual heavy ini
tial expense incident to tlie commencement of any new busi
ness and particularly an insurance business. IS SUCH A
COMPARISON FAIR?
Here Js a comparison which is more to the point and is
made in no "knocking" spirit, but with the desire of making
known the entire facts. IT IS FAIR:
Comparing the volume of our business produced and
paid for last year, and it's cost, with that of the New York
Life Insurance Co. for 191ft (their figures for 1911 not yet
being published and therefore unavailable;, the following
results are shown:
Western
Xi'\v ^ ork Life Stall's Life
Amount of insurance, including addition* $170,986,871 $4,366,675
Expenses 10,139,714 222,884
ACTUAL COST, being ratio of expense to volume
of business produced 5.936 per cent. 5.116 percent.
These figures represent I lie first full calendar year of our
business. We feel justified, therefore, in pointing with pride
to the record of the year, both as to volume of business pro
duced and the cost of it's production.

answer, although a long: one, will
be answered as follows: The Big
Place at the present time gives
their patrons more for the money
than any other place. Anheuscr
beer oil draught, served with
merchant's lunch. Tjiis is I ho
first time tiuit. Eastern beer has
on draught in Alaska, and
the lunch can't be duplicated any
where. The Hig Place is most
complete in its line of amuse
ments, cigars and bar accommo
dations. It is always boosting for
Valde/., and through doing so is
helping itself. Everyone who is
a resident of Valde/. realizes that
even so it's helping their home
anil Valde/. is now forging to the
front and leaving other places be
hind.
The American Press service
installed in the Big Place every
day has treated quite a few sub
scribers, who come in and look at
I lie pictures of notable events re
produced by photograph. The
Hig Place was first, and still is the
only one trying to make business
conditions look better by pulling
on H-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 money
if you don't want to. AM we ask
is your presence—that alone
makes us alive. Deliver the
goods to the Valdez people and
(hoy will be your patrons and
tfioost for'thom hnd they will boost
for you.
The American Press service for
today: American Soliders March
ing Through Pekin Streets, pic
tures of the men who are lead
ing one 'million coal strikers in
Great Britain, children sent to
Washington as living arguments
for Lawrence strikers, London
again buzzes with Suffragettes.
Weather forecast for Valdez:
March, business is fair: April,
business is better: May, business
is good.
Visit the Big Place, the largest
on the Alaskan coast; throw in
with the boosters and be a live
one.
