EXTRACTS FROM THE REPORT FOR THE YEAR 1860.
"The success of the Company, even in ite earliest years,
received the marked attention, and elicited the surprised
comments, of writers best acquainted with the history of In-
surance Companies.
" Fire Premiums for 1860 EQUAL the Total Fire Premiums
for the SEVEN YEARS 1845 to 1851.
"Life Premiums for 1860 EXCEED the Entire Life Pre-
miums for the EIGHT Y FARS ending 1852.
"Purchase of Annuities in 1860 LARGELY EXCEEDS the
similar receipt.; for the first TEN YEARS, 1845 to 1854.
"This progress, it is believed, is unsurpassed, considering'
that it applies to each of the three branches of the business.
