GiLLIPOLIS INSURANCE AGENCY.
TIE PORTLAND FIRE.

THE great disaster at Portland. Maine,
July 4th. adds another illustration Of the ad
vantages Of GENUINE UNDERWRITING
and STRONG INDEMNITY, in trying
emergencies.
Portland was one Of the most substantial
built cities in tke United States, having q
large preponderanee of stone, brick and fire
proof buildings. Yet it was nearly swept
from eXIstanee in a few hours, by soon
temptable Fire cracker"
The losses by the Companies which we
represent, have been greatly exaggerated; but
large as they actually were, the Companies
after paying them in full, show footing. that
will compare favorably with the best Com
panies in existaEce.
Reports have been freely circulated that
tie Capitol of the Hartford Insurance Co, has
been impaired; they are false. and the con-
struetIOn Of the rrP"ris Of the "New York In
saranee Department" 10 support such state
menis are frauds The figuring used by the
"Hon. WA. Barnes in that report applied
10 the "-Etna Co." would show like result.
The Hartford Times reports sales of Ktna
shares a: SeO0, decline Of $50. Hartford
shares SIS, decline Of 81. since the Port
land Fire. We mention the '-Etna" because
that company claim that they are "par ex-
eellence" the best Of all Insurance Companies
We claim that there are others "a good, and
the HARTFORD and METROPOLITAN
are among them.
The Hartford Company after paying $780,
eco losses at Portland has capitol and sur
plus of 81 100000
The Metropolitan lns. Co., after paying
over 5000 600 losses ut Portland, has a capitol
and surplus of over 81 100000 left, with
which they will further illustrate the advan-
tnges Of GENUINE INSURANCE and
Strong indemnity.
Consider the insignificant origin of fires,
be wise to-day and call upon theunder signed
for any DESCRIPTION Of Insurance required.
