We have had several accidents b explosions
and other agencies in or own city within .
short time past. In some cases deatA, in
others injury, which have prevented labor,
have resulted. A very little saved from
weekly earnings and invested ir safe Life
or Accident Insurance Company would have
been Of great benefit to the sufferers ana
those dependant upon them for support.
There is nothing new in llthis, but it seems
not out Of place in this review, and If it
causes but ono person to reflect and insure,
who otherwise would not, and suffering there
by shall prove to have been mitigated, and
want prevented, We shall have accomplished
much.
Of the merits Of the several companies re-.
presented BY the gentlemen named herein, it
is Of course, our province TO say nothing. Nor
are We sufficiently well advised in the pre-
misses to do DO, even wereit proper we should.
We know oil the agents to be upright, reli
able, honorable gentlemen, and representing
substantial companies. Parties wishing 70
effect policies must canvass for themselves
the merits Of the companies represented.
On Second street, near the corner Of Main,
is the headquarters of our enterprising and
popular friend, H. B. Ten EYcK. He CON-
menced business here in August, 1855, then
representing the old and reliable /" 1Etna"
company only. To his agency for this he has
added many other we'll established companies,
among which We notice the "Home" Insu-
rance Co., ofNew York; the "Insurance Com
pany Of North America,' at Philadelphia !;
the Underwriters Agency the "Loril-
lard" Fire Insurance Company, of New
York. the international insurance Com.
pany, Of New York the /" North American,
Fire Insurance Co., New York; !" Travellers"
Insurance Co., of Hartford, Conn. Connec-
ticut Mutual Life Insurance Co.. Of
Hartford. The condition ofall these companies
AS shown by the cash assets, is found in his
advertisement column elsewhere in our pa
per. To his insurance business, Mr.. Tx
EYcK added. some two years ago, Real
Estate Agency, and in this, as in the former.
he has prospered greatly. Confning himself
strictly TO the line of his legitimate business
as an agent, he has BY his honesty, industry,
careful attention to business, and upright
manner of transacting it, secured firm place
in popular favor, and received the substantial
rewards which follow application, honesty and
sagacity.
Across the street from this, in the room
adjoining the banking room Of WV. THoxr-
SON l. Co., is the Office Of our friend HowARD
TUCKER, Secretary Of the Iowa State Insu-
rance Company, At Keokuk. This company
was organized January 26th, 1856. Has an
ample capital stock. 1t is home Institution,
and as such, merits, and We are glad is re.
ceiving hne patronage from our people. The
present board OF Directors is composed ol
we'll known, substantial and prosperous citi
Gems Of this and adjoining counties. In thei,
circular exhibit the company says: the
capital Of this company is constantly increas
ing. Our agents are particularly instructed
to take none but good safe risks, and every
application for insurance is carefully examin.
ed BY the board Of directors before it is &C.
septed. This is to avoid, as far as possible,
hazardous risks. 1t is the object of the di.
rectory to establish . home insurance company,
upon solid foundation, which shall be an
honor and credit to the State.
1.-THE cost of insurance in this compan,
upon the mutual plan, has not been more
than one-h half the amount it would have cost
upon the stock PLAN
