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. What kind
of a business man are you?
