This comparison is with companies recog-
nized TO he 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 a 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 unhesi;atingly assert
that the security to policy holders has3nevel
been eaualled by any other Fire Insurance
Company. As an earnest of their determine.
ton 10 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
from investment and the premium income,
together with TOUR millions of subscribed
capital, which has not been called in, and il
is but the truth to saw that the security Is al
least ten times greater than il needed 10
make the policy holders perfectly secure.
In this the stockholders occupya position
which should command respect, and they
appeul 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 be kept at home, and
from a long monopoly Of the business have
become e1aciing and intolerant.
The Republic was established through the
combined efforts of thousands of business
men throughout the West, for the express
purpose Of protecting themselves and the
people Of the West against the undue exaction
Of Eastern Companies, and has been the means
of breaking down the great Eastern combina'
ton, known a. the National Board of Fire
Underwriters.
The Company has been Systematically
misrepresented by the paid organs Of the
combination, and the country has heen food
ed with anonymous circulars, teeming with
barefaced falshoods respecting the Company
We desire, therefore, to hold up the au.
thors and abettors of these attacks upon the
Republic Insurance Company TO the scorn Of
all right-thinking men, and appeal to the
people Of the West to give the Company theiI
support and patronage, not only on the
ground of superior merit, but also for the
better protection Of your private interests,
| the encouragement Of right against wrong
| and the promotion of the interests of the Wes
in general.
You can nov obtain from the Republic
Insurance Company = superior quality of fin
insurance, at les price than you ~ert
compelled to pay Eastern companies wher
| they had YOU ia their power. Therefore, a,
q question Of economy merely, you can NJ
longer afford to send your money Eat u
purchase an inferior article, even 1t the sam,
price. By doing 80 you impoverish your owl
section to that extent, and pay into the hand
of those who have already Oppressed you, and
will again If the opportunity Offers, 90 tina
on grounds Of policy, both public an,
privsae. yoa should give The preference 4
Weseem insurance companies, whenever
can Be doae viii afssy.
