At Studio Today 3 - v tt " l" W ' 1-.. 1 MM WW UJ Romantic History Of Sun Company Is Related By Holmes To go back 324 yean In th Insur ance business Is to uncover colorful history. So muc& coulfl be writen about Sun Insurance Office. Ltd., of Lon don, founded In 1710, that It would take dozens of pages, the size of this one. for the relating. Here are a few of the Interesting highlights of the Sun's early career, as outlined by Cole Holmes of the R. A. Holmes Insurance Agency: "An Exchange House Fire Office" was projected In 1706 by Garles Po vcy for the Insurance of goods In the city of London. That institution used the "Sun" mark as its emblem. In 1709, Povey decided to organize a new office for the Insurance not only of goods In London, but also build ings, and In the provincial towns of England as well. The financial basis of the concern was to be a group of 24 persons of good means who formed a "bank" or "stock." They apparently were not to put up actual funds but to hold themselves responsible for the fulfillment of the contracts of the office. In April, 1710, a deed of co partnership was drawn between Povey and the other 23 partners, and for the first time the Exchange House Fire Office became known officially as the Sun Fire Office. It was located In Paul's coffee house at the west end of Saint Paul's cathedral. As an Indication of the constancy of the Sun, it Is Interest ing to note that since 1711 Its .head quarters have remained within a few yards of the Bank of England. From the time of Its formation, and for a number of years, the office published a newsletter known first ns the "British Mercury" and after ward the "Historical Register." It gave an account of current events, both in England and In other coun tries. This record was distributed by "servants" of the Sun Insurance office, who were called "walkers" or "riders," and was considered a means of advertising. From the outset, the system of collections of premiums seems to have been one of "quarterrldges." Amounts were collected quarterly. In June, 1710, the first Insurance agent ever appointed was Joslah Freeman. He was a coffee seller. Every Insured risk had Its own metal fire mark bearing a number. The mark was that of the sun with flames protruding. Besides being a good advertisement. It facilitated the work of the firemen, who In those early days were engaged by the Sun for the protection of Its own risks. . Within the AO years, from 1730 to 1780, the records of the Sun insur ance office give evidence that some thing approximating a scheme of dif ferential rates was gradually evolved. Certain districts of the city of Lon don and elsewhere were disclosed as hazardous and charged .higher rates accordingly. Alos there were Indica tions of an embryonic prohibited list, In 1838, foreign and colonial busi ness was accepted for the first time, Business was started In the United States at Watertown, N. T., in 1882. Today the Sun Insurance office Is represented throughout the entire civilized world. 10 SEE TENNIS, GOLFAND I ' A statewide tennis tournament was i announced this week as one of the features of Oregon's Diamond Jubl I lee celebration In Med ford June 3 ! to 9.

It has the stuff that makes a win ner in any grueling test . . . speed to go into the lead and the endur ance to hold that lead to the finish. For it takes more than speed to win under the severest racing con ditions. It takes efficiency of a rare order and the ability to keep going when the others drop out. ' That's why record-breaking automobiles, speed boats and sea planes use the V-type engine. And like these V-type engines, the Ford V-8 can take it. Right there is the reason for the outstanding performance of the New Ford V-8. No other low-price car can match it on the road be cause no other low-price car has a V-8 engine. Fact is, you have to pay more than $2000 to get a V-type eight-cylinder engine in any other car but Ford. We invite yon to drive the New Ford V-8 and let it tell its own revealing story of performance, safety and comfort. TUNE IN FORD DEALERS' RADIO PROGRAM. Fred Waring and His Fmrnw vakians.
