Insurance Company. Mr.. Robert Bonner,
the publisher of the Ledger, executed his
first job. work in the Courant Office, Hart
ford, Conn.,, for the E.na Insurance Com
rany. Hssays:
: When We were an apprentice in the old
Courant Office, in Hartford, about twenty
years ago, the first job work" on which
we were employed was in printing the poll
cies of the Etna Insurance Company Of that
city. We knew the leading men connected
with the Company-knew them to be good
and responsible men and when we came 10
New York, and some insurance to do, We
Thought OF the ole Astna, and Mt the time of
ovr recent FIRE were insured in it to the
amount of $1,000. How did they act there?
Just rs We had expected they would. As
sson Is We acquainted them with our loss,
the agent in this city, james A. Alexander,
Of 81 Wall street, at once proposed to send
of his check for the amount. Is it any
wonder that such Company is successful!
VI our experience with other companies We
mean to speak hereafter.
