'for fire-then there wilt' be erected two

these two men should be suggested for
these positions, for what Jay and Joe
do not know about Insurance1 would
make an atom ashamed of Its stse.
Neither Jay Foster nor Joe Barker
know that they will be mentioned for
these positions; the truth la they do
not know such a society Is going to be
formed. The promoters of the new or

the two Omahaps know anything about

Everybody In Omaha knows that Jay

anyone else dare try to know. Jay Foster
is so hampered with facts about insur
ance that hie tailor always provides ex

bits of Information go t .moling out of
Jay's head they wll have a repository
where they may rest until they shall be
needed In the future. People who know
Jay (and that's about everybody who baa
been In Omaha very long), will not get
into an argument with him on the sub
ject of insurance. There would be no
use. He knows insurance from A'Pba to
Omega and beyond, if there is any be
yond. Jf Jay thinks a man ought to have
insurance he tells him so. And it he
tells him he ought to have Insurance, he
ought to have, for Jay Foster knows

this "It Is related," so we employ it now),
Viat Jay Foster once went Into the office
of a prominent Omahan, and declared,
"Johiv you nd $300,000 on your life."
The informed looked up In rather a
startled manner. His thoughts came
fast: That was Jay Foster before htm:
wouldn't be of any use arguing with nhn.
Might be that Jay Foster, during the
argument would conclude that he needed
1500.000. Better take 1300,000 and not hav
any argument. So the first words from
the mouth of the man addressed were:
"Air right, Jay, give me what you know
I need. I'm not going to meddle in your
business. If I need a little more give it
to me." . '

case and when your condition Is such
that you need more, I'll give It to you,
and tell you about it afterwards."

Joe Barker is a close second to his
partner in knowing insurance. He is
actively engaged in It nearly every hour
of the day. But Joe Barker has other
duties this year which are more Impor
tant to the growth of our city. He's our
kink. He rules with a high hand over
the kingdom of Ak-6ar-Ben. He is royal
nobs No. XVII. And In the words of
some of our beet grammarians, "He's some

member of the board of governors of Ak-Sar-Ben.
He made such a brilliant show

so much business that the Milwaukee was

Both Foster and Barker ara prominent
in every line of endeavor in Omaha. They
are club members, commercial and social.
The public spirit in them flows over at
every opportunity. ,
The official title under which they con
duct their insurance business is the
Foster-Barker company. Until Just re

as H. E. Palmer, Son & Co., but both

Mr. Foster was associated as a partner
with the firm of if. E. Palmer. Son & Co.
for more than twenty years.
A letter from Jay and Joe last week i
announced that they had changed the !
name of the firm. ' Everybody wondered !
why they had not done so before, since 1
they had been managing the business for .
years. They were content all the time,
though, to do the work and get the-well,
they did the work, and that's enough.
Everybody in Omaha knows they are
the active managers of the company and
have been. The altering of the name will
do no more than to permit newcomers to
learn this fact. In the meantime the pro
moters of the Insurance Inventors' Me
morial society are busy, and Joe Barker
and Jay Foster will soon have new duties.
