ACCIDENT 1NsURANCE.-Tne Travelling In
surance Company, of Hartford. Conn.,, was or
ganized nd commenced business in April,
1864 1t is the oldest accident insurance COM
pany in this Countrywide first to successfully
introduce this branch of underwriting to the
American public. Over seven years of sue
cessful business have made it familiar as
household words, and scattered its benefits
among poor and rich, merchants and mechan-
les, business men aud laboring men, amcng
those who travel and those who stay at home.
1t issues general accident policies by the
month or year, which are written by author
lied nts,-avOiding the trouble of rigid
medical examination, and the delay of sending
to the Home Office.
The Company insures against accidents
causing bodily injury or loss of life, guaran-
teeiDg the payment of a stated sum per week,
from SO to $50, if the accidental injury wholly
disables the person insured from labor or bust
ness (not to exceed twenty-six weeks for any
one accidenD; or the payment of the principal
sum insured, from $500, to $4,000, if the in
jury cause death within three months, at an
annual cost of S. to $40 per $1,000. Hazard
GUS risks are charged higher rates, but the
rates named include the great body OF pro-
fessioual, business, working, or travelling
men. ~.
The cost of the insurance is graduated by
the occupation and exposure; and the expert
ence of this company, IN the issue of over two
hundred thousand policies, furnishes data in
valuable in determining the cost of insuring
given risk. The logic of facts and figures. and
the lessons of experience, should not be disre-
garded for the opinions and impressions OF
others. Nothing is more common than for a
man to fail to appreciate his own risk.
What are the chances of accident? Stats
tics show that one person in every ten meets
with an accident evory year. One in every
fifteen of the more than two hundred thou
sand insured by the Travellers have been paid
under claim for death or injury by accident.
Facts are the strongest arguments
