B@ The following is from the
Observer, of Chicago, journal de-
voted to insurance matters:
The state Insurance Company, OF
Chicago, Ill.
About year ago a number of
gentlemen In Chicago, in connection
with others In prominent Western
towns and cities, united to establish a
great Western Fire Insurance Com
pany, having an ultimate capital of
ten million dollars, with a cash pay
ment of twenty per cent. It is more
comprehensive than anything of the
kind that has ever been projected in
this country and is In hands that forbid
any doubt of its final success. Within
the year over two million dollars of
the stock have been subscribed, aud
some sixty branch offices established.
Its stock is being placed in leading
towns and cities of the northern
States, but mainly In the north west.
Wherever twenty FIVE thousand dol
lars or more of stock is held, a
branch-otlce Is established and one
or more directors selected. By this
means the interest in its welfare is
brought to the door of every commu-
nifty, and the greatest possible bull
wark against danger and fraud built
up. The State" has now nearly a
thousand such stockholders seattle red
over Illinois, Indiana, Michigan. Wis
consin, Iowa and Minnesota. and IS
rapidly extending. It has secured
among Its stockholders the best fiuau-
cial minds in Chicago and the west,
who see in the very plan on which 1t
is founded the basis of unprecedented
profits. Its directory and officers
show the class who are interested. and
they are good representatives of its
stockholders. We learn that large
aecessions have been made to its List
since the first of the year, and that its
stockselling is progressing at a very
satisfactory rate. Every provision will
be made to get it into the best hands in
hundreds of leading towns and cities
during 1870, and the first of January
next will probably see this young giant
of the west with five or six millions of
its stock sold and cash capital of over
a million dollars, after which time It's
progress will be made with small eff
fort. 1t started to be only sound and
right; its officers aud directors are of
the highest character and standing,
and every one who knows of it feels
we'll assured that its success Is only a
matter of time.
The Chicago directors of the State
Insurance Company are almost exclu-
sively men who are not only well
known in their own city. but through
out the West, as men Of established
reputation for probity and integrity
as merchants, bankers and railroad
officials.
