T im e s F orest Voi. 3 SALEM GETS HOME OFFICE Pacific Home Mutual, Under New Management, to Be Located at Capital City. The Pacific Home Mutual In surance Company, of this city, organized four years ago, Tues day passed under new manage ment, M. S. Allen, F. A. Wat- rous, Chas. Hines, J. N. Hoff man, E. J. Fisher and J. A. Watruus resigning from the board of directors. John Pem berton, James Winstanley, L. T. Reynolds, Wm. McGilchrist, H. Pohle and E. T. Barnes, all of the Salem Horticultural Fire Re lief Association, were elected to fill the vacancies. John Pember ton was elected president, James Winstanley, vice-president, and E. A. Newby, secretary. The board at once made an order moving the location of the home office from Forest Grove to Sa lem, and the office furniture, books and papers were at once prepared aud shipped. Mr. Pemberton, the president, and Mr. Newby, secretary, of the Horticultural, will conduct the affairs of the Pacific Home from the same office in Salem. The expense of management will be greatly reduced, and it is un derstood that many changes will be made in the conducting of the business. The company at this time has on its books a million and a half of choice business. For some time this move lias been anticipated. The Horticul tural, with more than eight mil lions of business, will back and push the business of the Pacific Home. Forest Grove’s loss in this busi ness enterprise will be Salem’s gain. The directors and officers elect are all men of wide busi ness experience and are excel lent business men, and without doubt will place the Pacific Home in the front rank among the companies of Oregon. Association Is Formed. “ Dead beats” will be practi cally impossible in Forest Grove hereafter as a result of a new step which the Business Men’s Association of Forest Grove has taken to protect its members. At a meeting held yesterday af ternoon, the proposal of the Mer chants’ Mercantile company of Portland to publish a credit guide for this district was unan imously endorsed and Secretary L. Hines of the company and his assistant, G. F. McGann, are to day signing up the merchants of the city. By this system this county will be put in direct touch with cred it conditions all over the United States and whenever anyone moves here from any part of the country, the merchants here will at once be posted through this company as to how the party paid his bills where he formerly lived. These credit guides are made up in districts covering nearly every state in the union. They are made from the combined ex perience of all the merchants in all the districts and every mer chant rates his own customers according to how they have paid him. Before a customer is rated he is given notice by letter that he will be rated and is given a chance to pay up his old accounts G rove P ress FOREST GROVE. OREGON. THURSDAY.

Each merchant and profession al man is furnished with a copy of the guide so that he may re fer to it and look up the rating of any customer before giving credit. ____________ X COMPETITION CUTS PRICES arrange time, premiums, events, etc., and conduct the business in general and have the county meet on P.
