Farmers Mutual Fire Insurance Company

From the report just published, we learn that
the number of policies issued during the past
year, was 1900; that the amount of losses S9-
607,53, and that the balance in the treasury
Aug. l, 1868, was $40. About one half of
the losses which have accrued this year, were
the work of incendaries, and the directors very
properly deem this fact sufficient reason for more
stringent legislation, and more vigorous efforts
to bring the perpetrators to justice. The cost
of insurance in the Farmers Company has been
only eleven cents on each hundred dollars, per
year, and this insignificant sum has proved am
ply sufficient to pay all losses and expenses, and
leave balance of 81 900 in the treasury. The
expenses of the company are light, being only
S2,S35,l7, against $6,7S5, 40 in the Vermont
Mutual.
During the eight years of its existence, no
assessment has been made upon its premium
notes, fact which it would seem must satisfy
the most skeptical, that an Insurance Company
can be sustained its losses all promptly paid,
and the claims upon it all met without the ex-
pense, trouble and liability to loss from the col
lection of small annual assessments. This is
e-emincntly the Farmers Company and their
own self interest as well as safety, should lead
them to patronize it.-B,0lington Sentinel.
