In 1922, State Farm was formed by George Mecherle, a farmer from Merna, Illinois, who aimed to take advantage of the pricing umbrella maintained by the high-cost giants of the industry. State Farm employed a "captive" agency force, a system keeping its acquisition costs lower than those incurred by the bureau insurers (whose "independent" agents successfully played off one company against another). With its low-cost structure, State Farm eventually captured about 25% of the personal lines business, far outdistancing its once-mighty competitors. Allstate, formed in 1931, put a similar distribution system into place and soon became the runner-up in personal lines to State Farm. Capitalism had worked its magic, and these low-cost operations looked unstoppable.

1922年州农保险由伊利诺州Merna的农夫George Mecherle所创立，目标锁定在打破业界掮客所树立的高价保护伞，州农雇用专属仲介人员，这套系统让州农取得保单的成本远低于一般保险同业，其独立业务代表接二连三成功地搞倒其它业者，拜其低成本结构所赐，州农最终拮取25%的个人业务大饼，含车险及住宅险在内，远远超越昔日强大的竞争对手，而创立于1931年的Allstate也仿效设立类似的行销通路，并一举跃居第二，仅次于州农，资本主义再度发挥神奇的效用，而这种低成本的营运确已势不可挡。

We have no common name for a mime of Sophron or Xenarchus and a Socratic Conversation; and we should still be without one even if the imitation in the two instances were in trimeters or elegiacs or some other kind of verse--though it is the way with people to tack on 'poet' to the name of a metre, and talk of elegiac-poets and epic-poets, thinking that they call them poets not by reason of the imitative nature of their work, but indiscriminately by reason of the metre they write in.
