DAVENPORT, Dec. 5.
MEssRs EDIroRs From the fact that
list of the different foreign Insurance Com
panies which are purported to be the only
ones which have complied with the new
law of Iowa, regulating the establishment
of agencies of foreign offices in this State,
has been published in the last number of the
Real Estate Register" and from the fact
that said statement was incomplete, and
consequently unjust deem it my duty 4.
speak OF my own knowledge on the matter,
through the columns of your paper.
The first company that took steps toward
compliance with the law, in this State, was
the Peoria Fire and Marine Insurance Co..
the President of which, Chas Holland, Esq
of Peoria, Ill , went in person, to Iowa City.
and drew up the original certificate for the
Auditor of State, he being incompetent to
do SO, and that was the first company that
advertised, or took any steps towards doing
so. in this state. Onreferring to the state.
ment purporting to come from the hands of
the A"ditor Of State, fail to find the name
of the above mentioned company inserted,
and consequently would take the liberty Of
asking the proprietors Of the Register
why it is that such omission has been made?
1t is surely the duty of journal that looks
to the public alone for its support. to give
facts-suppressing nothing from mercenery
motives that IS of valueto the public, or from
motives of personal or individual aggran-
dizement. The marked promptness with
which the Peoria Fire and Marine Insurance
Company settle all claims, entitle it to at
least common, if not high degree of re.
spect in this community; and as agent for
the same. all ask is honesty and fair derl-
ing in relation to the same, and in its behalf
have the right to demand the truth and the
whole truth, in regard to it, from the pub
lie journals of this community.
Respectfully Yours,
