ness is to protect the citizens from loss damage
by fire or the perils Of navigation there are none

rOnage Of this community the one At the head Of
our article, the -Etna Insurance Company Of Hart
ford Connecticut
By an honorable, energetic, and liberal course Of
action in the transaction Of its business for period
Of more than forty years, by the prompt and cqut-
able adjustment of all claims for loss and damage
upon liberal principles by the gradual increase
Of capital and-surplus means. beyond any similar
institution, It ibeen justly rewarded with success
to an extent W araeed in the history of any other
Fire Insuranc, Company IN the world
Since the organization of this Company in 1873.
it has paid over thirteen millions ofdoars for losses.
and never in any instance, as we are informed has
there been a days delay in payment for want Of
means
The owners of property, commercial, and monicd
men of this age demand, and require Insurance

Point proves so our minds that nothing with it is
chance except the probabilities of losses by rivers,
and even that is brought within the limits Of caIcu-
lation 10y the experience of forty years Those who
have studied the law Of chances tell US that IT is
marked by g-clt degree of uniformity. and that
with sufficiently accurate ard fall statistics, 1t is
oasy to estimate the chances Of accident If this
be so. is not the short life of SO many Insurance
Companies owing to the limited experience on
which they base their estimates of hazards With
tins accumulation of forty years experience in
taking varied risks all over the United States. and
with over two millions Of dollars as a guarantee
fund to the insured we think the continued success
Of the -Etna is no longer problem 1t has become
certainty and al that may hold the -Ena policies
may rest colteutaI that should loss ever occur for
which the s5licy provides they viii get their money
without delay or litigation.
