By any similar institution in the Union.
The stockholders are among the most able capt.
aliss in the State the Directors all good bust
ness men; the President is considered, by the citi-

is peculiarly well suited, so say those
who know him best, for the duties of his office.
am sure no one desiring to avail themselves OF
the advantages of insurance could select better
The stock is quoted at from sl0i 10 si06 per
share of 500, which is sufficient evidence of the
standing of the institution.
Most respectfully,
GEO. w. CLUTTER.
