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.

NET TEAM START
With twenty boys participating.
the Medford high tennis tournament
got underway at the Junior high
courts this week.
The tournament Is held for the
purpose of discovering the outstand
ing material for the tennis team,
The tournament this year Is un
der the direction of Mr. Harry Cope,
who Is quite a tennis player. Mr.
Cope Is using the English method
of seeding the entrants. Tills method,
although giving some players a "free
trip" to the quarter finals, Insures
fast and exciting matches in the
finals and eliminates any possibility
of a "fluke" champion.
Mr. Cope has named those players
who were on the team last year, or
are proven material as the seeded
players. Those Include Verna Camp
bell, tourney runner-up last year;

The conclusion that there Is nothing
Illegal in fingerprinting persons for
Identification, and that this is no
more humiliating than any other
form of identification, has been
reached by Frank Orant, city attorney.

y.TYPE ENGINE. It holds every
major record on land, on water
and in the air.
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.
