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

and thus secure a good rating.
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. ____________
