There are persons-and corporations
who never weary in well doing. This sub
stantiaI old company is one Of them. Not
content with living and prospering for over
half century, nor with capital assord-
ing to its last annual statement, Of $SQpO0o,
ituow imbibes the progressive spirit of the
age. and increases that capital to 81, ,OOO, 600
The surplus, added to this, makes It's as
sets s.34s, ,I62 Ca grand total, and the
basis of a grand business. The Hartford
deserves its success. 1t has always been
fayorite with the Insurance fraternity, and
especially with agents, on account OF its
sterling soundness and integrity, and lis
liberal style of doing business. Though
old, it is not an old fogy. 1t never had a
fopv element in its constitution. ltwas al
yvSys vital, and thus it has lived, through
ali yicissitudes, more than halfa century Of
vigorous life, growing stronger year by
wear. Age has only matured its wisdom,
without impairing its strength.
In announcing the Harttord's increase OF
