rAiitt uunx I JOHN W. M'KE SUFFERS LOSS '4 ?- * i Atlanta, Ga., Oct. 17.?Fire of unknown origin in the McKee Motors Corp. here early today caused damage estimated at $150,000 to $200,000. Whether or not it was covered by insurance has not been learned." Was it insured is the first question asked after a fire. That question is never asked by a good business man. , He takes it for granted that Mr. McKee, being a good business man, as his (success proves him to be, was protected. During his times of good business and plenty, Mr. McKee paid a nominal / fee to certain companies to guarantee him against loss. His contract is / good. The Insurance Companies protect him and his creditors. Good ?us' iness ability. Yes?and good common sense. This applies to small business as well as to' large.
