H AS INTERESTING HISTORY
William* Insurance A Rene. v Oldest in
Camden.
*? (< humbcr of Commerce Bulletin)
The oldest insurance agency in
Camden, and perhaps in this entire
section, is the Williams Insurance
Agency, now owned ftnd managed by
Mr. li. M. Kennedy, J?\, with officer
on Broad street While the oldest
record of polities issued shows that
tlris office represented the New York
Underwriters gency in 1866 it is very
probable that all the fire insurance
written in Camden prior to the Cou
rse rat# War swa* through the direc t
predecessors of the present organiza
tlon. ' ?' .
It is interesting to note- in the old
registers in this office, that the names
of the policy-holder? were, in a. great
measure, those of ancestors of the
most valued clients of the business
today- From these old records oiiu
gets a vivid idea of the grofvth and
changes in Camden in the past few
years, and *?rom the descriptions ' <>f
buildings on Broad street one can
picture the looks of this street front
time to time. In the office is a map
made in 1881 which shows many
frame shacks, where now handsome
brick structures house thriving busi
ness concerns.
The first owner of the business was
Mr. \V. D. McDowali from whom are
descended many of our best citizens.
In 1879 his son, Mr. Charles J. Mc
Dowali, took over the conduct of the
office and in 1881 associated with
himself Mr. Bel ton O. Kennedy, who
in turn operated the business in his
name from 1 88." until he later took
in as a partner Mr. David R. Wil
liams. using the firm name of Ken
nedy & Williams. In 1 88t> Mr. Ken
nedy disposed of his interest and
moved to Atlanta, Ga.. the firm then
becoming Williams & Williams and
ran as such until 181)1 when it was
changed to Williams & Steedman.
Later- upon?the withdrawal of Me.
Steedman, the office was run as I). R.
Williams, and still later as the Wil
liams Insurance and Realty Company.
In 1915 the older agency was con
solidated with Kennedy and Carrison,
then operatediby Mr. Henry (J. Carri
son, Jr., and Mr. R. M. Kennedy, Jr,
the latter being the son of Mr. Bel
ton O. Kennedy, who helped to build
up the business in the eighties. Mr.
Carrison later sold his interest and
the name was . changed for the la.it
time to Williams Insurance Agency,
under the ownership of Mr. R. M.
Kennedy, Ji*.
This agency writes every form of
insurance, except life, and represents
many of the strongest fire insurance.,
casualty and surety companies. J
There is civil war in Brazil as the
result of a recent insurrection in the
province of Sao Paulo.

LAY-BY SCHOOLS
Campaign To Ik' Put On In This
County During August,
The joy of the printed page! But
there are in Kershaw county a num
ber who have been deprived of this
joy. Will you not bring this joy* to
every man and woman in this county
who has been so unfortunate.
This county is to engage in a cam
paign of "Lay-by Schools" for the
month of August. Ten or twelve
schools are tft be conducted during
this period to help adults who wqry
not given educational opportunities in
younger days. The cost of maintain
ing these schools, about $1,200.00, is
taken care of by legislative appro
priation. However it will cost about
one Hollar to furnish each adult
student with book supplies for the
coui se.
During the course it is expected to
teach spelling and have the pupils
write as many words as they can
learn to spell. A Bible .story book
will be completed by most of the
students before the end of August,
and then the poodle will continue to
do general,, reading later.
Kershaw county . people are asked
to furnish the cost of the books for
300 students and in the campaign The
Chronicle has undertaken the task of
raising at least $200.00, the balance
to be raised in other parts of the
county. If more than the quota is
raised tin* funds will be used for
medals for students making the
greatest progress and possibly prizes
for the community having the best
schools.
The aim is to make this subscrip
tion a popular one and not. one of big
donations. ."Mis.- Annie Lou Wood
ward. county supervisor o]' the cam- j
paign, asks that the donations range i
frrtm one to five-dollars.. " * I
This is a most commendable mo\e-j
merit and is heartily endorsed by The |
Chronicle. The Chronicle opens the j
j subscription drive with a donation of
' $5.00 and asks all those who wish.
! to Contribute to send the money F<>

the progress of. this campaign will
i be made, and it hoped that the

Firestone Leads on Speedway
with Five Record Breakers
W!?n the race dnvcr selccts his tires he does so
realising that his life and chances tor success de
pend upon them. It is significant that all of the
ten money winners in the Indianapolis race were
Firestone shod. Firestone, using gum-dipping
and other special processes, has developed tires
to such a high degree of efficiency that at Indian
apolis, May 30th, the following drivers broke the
world's record for 300 miles over thi* brick track,
making many rounds at over 100 miles per hour.
Never before wore tires put to such gruelling
service, where it was necessary for every ounce
of rubber and every fibre of fabric to work in
perfect unison with every other part.

Mil liorui of motcrists are profiting by the length

Firestone Gum-Dipped Cords deliver ? which

KkuSGOsa Tire Leadership
Firestone's latest contribution to motoring is the
low eir pressure or Balloon Tire. This, the
original full-si/e Balloon, was made practical by
the special Firestone Gum-Dipping process, in
sulating every fibre of each cord, adding grcfat
strength and stamina. Firestone has also simpli
fied rhe application of full-size Balloon tires to
your present car by designing a special unit con
sisting of tires, tubes, rims and spokes applied by
any dealer at a very low cost.
Leadership Against British
Rubber Restriction Act
Attacking the unsound and uneconomic character
of the British Rubber Restriction Act lffniting
the exportation of rubber from the Far East,
I-ircstone was the one large tire manufacturer
to take up the cause for the car owner. Soon
after the agitation was started for America to
produce rubber under its own control, the cost
of crude rubber was reduced and tire prices
brought back to normal.
Dealer Leadership Throftgh
Tire Quality and Service
Through Firestone dealers you can obtain or
ganized service and the soundest values on the
