To the Cai,ens Of LeayesrortA Cosnly and rieinity:
The undersigned desire to recommend the
Republic Insurance Company to your conf
dence and patronage. The Company is, be-
yond ali question, one of the strongest if not
the strongest, in the country. 1t has Cash
Fund of over ONE MILLION DOLLARS
available at any moment, of which $643, 900
is in United States 6 Us cent Currency
Bonds, REGISTERED. Its va IA are never
loaned, and by keeping them available Sc
curities, the Company Is ed at all times
to meet lis obligations pI in.''ly. Losses are
adjusted promptly, and al. Nh at once, with
out discount for interest. neir is no 'Si1ty
Days" or other time cla',se in the policy.
In addition to the Cash Fund, the Stock
holders, who are among lie most responsible
men of the West, are lega bound by sub
scriptions and the charter, to pay in -Four
Million Dollars more, if needed, for pay
ment of losses. Thus the actual security to
Policy Holders is over Five Million Dollars
Persons having property to insure and all
| Others who care to understand the truth in
regard to the relative merits of the Republic,
will find of special interest the following ex
hibit of figures, made up from official sources,
and showing the percentage of assets to
liabilities of several Of the leading companies
doing business in the Western States:
| Republic has OF cash assets TO each 500 OF
risk 30
Total assets Including stock subscription
Eins Ia. Total assets 10 each 500 at risk ssi
Home, ofNew York 90 80 a. 50
Hartford, OF Connecticut 90 90 - 60
Continental, Of New York - l 60
This comparison is with companies recog-
nized TO be among the strongest in the
country.
The Republic, it is seen, has the largest
PERCENTAGE of cash assets of any company in
the list, and OF total assets, including stock
subscription, has PERCENTAGE Of actual in
demnity six times greater than that OF the
largest of the Eastern Companies.
1t has been the design Of the Stockholders
to make the Company the strongest in the
United States, and We unhesitatingly assert
that the security to policy holders has never
been equalled by any other Fire Insurance
Company. As an earnest of their determine
ton to sustain the company, and of their
good faith to the policy holders, the Stock
holders have resolved to forego dividends
until an ample suplus has accumulated, and
pledge for the security of the policies the
entire cash capital and surplus, the interest
rom:investment and the premium income,
together with foar millions OF subscribed
capital, which has not been called in, and it
is but the truth to say that the security is at
least ten times greater than Is needed to
make the policy holders perfectly secure.
In this the stockholders occupya position
which should command respect, and they
appeal confidently to the Western public to
sustain their efforts.
The Eastern Companies are draining the
West of many millions annually, large
portion of which might tie kept at home and
from long monopoly OF the business have
become eIacting and inlolerant.
The Republic was established through the
combined efforts of r. sands Of business
men throughout the W. for the express
purpose Of protecting IL. aselves and the
people Of the West agains. he undue e1action
Of Eastern Companies, and iasbeen the means
Of breaking down the great Eastern combna-
ton, known as the National Board of Fire
Underwriters.
The Company has been systematically
misrepresented by the paid organs OF the
combination, anu Inc country nas zee. hoc
