The Merchants and Householders of Columbus, and

BY the establishment, 26 years since, of Central

Western and South Western Losses, careful selec-
ton of risks, the most unremitting attention to their
dispersion, and prudence and economy all its transact
tons, the Officers of this Company have had the sat-
isacton of seeing its usefulness and prosperity con-
stany upon the increase during long period OF years
Many other Companies have in the meantime failed to
discharge their just liabilities, having been weakened
and finally rendered bankrupt, by reckless course of
business
Insurance Companies of this stamp and character
are continually springing up in various parts of the
country 1t is not our purpose (by accepting premi-
inadequate to the average annual tosS) to COM
pete with such irresponsible oceswhose object would
seem to be to collect considerable from the OPP
