BARRY VISITS DALLAS Pioneer in Mutual insurance move ment Says Business Is Growing. B. L Barry, secretary of the Mer chants' Mutual Insurance Association, of Dayton, Oregon, was a business vis itor In Dallas yesterday. Mr. Barry says that the company Is making a steady and healthy growth in member ship and that the amount of Insurance carried Is being Increased as rapidly as is consistent with a safe and con servative business policy. He says that one year ago he estimated that the company would nave casn aeei t the amount of $10,000 at tne Degin ning of the year 1910. When the di rectors met a few days ago, It was found that the assets amounted to $14,000 a gain of 62 per cent for the year. "The Dayton Mutual Is growing, said Mr. Barry, "but we recognize tne fact that our strength lies In accept ing none but the best class of risks, and that those risks must be widely scattered In the business districts of each town. For this reason, we accept but a small per centage of the business offered us, and as a result we are proud to say that we have been able to promptly pay every loss and at the same time build up the strongest cash reserve for each $1000 of insurance carried of any insurance company do ing business in Oregon. Mutual In surance Is no longer an experiment; It has come to stay." Mr. Barry was a guest at the home of Mr. and Mrs. J. L. Castle while In Dallas, and also spent a few hrfurs in the office of J. G. VanOrsdel, who has been a member of the Board of Di rectors since the company was organ ized. . - DELINQUENCY SMALL Less Than $1000 Taxes Remain Vn- . collected ta Polk.
