nized to be among the strongest in tn,
country.
The Republic, it is seen, has the larges
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 Stakeholder
to make the Company the strongest in the
| United States, and We INTERESTINGLY 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 iorego 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 four millions of subscribed
capital, which has not been called ir, and it
is but the truth to say tbs he security is at
least ten times grea,er 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 be kept at home, and
from a long monopoly of the business have
become exacting 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 as the National Board of Fire
Underwriters.
The Company has been systematically
misrepresented by the paid organs of the
combination, and the country has been flood
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 their |
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 West
In general.
You can now obtain from the Republic |
Insurance Company a superior quality, of fire |
at less price than you we're |
to pay Eastern companies when
they had you in their power. THEREFORE, as
a question of economy merely, you can no
longer afford to send your money East TO
purchase an inferior article, even at the same
price. By doing so you impoverish your own
section to that extent, and pay into the hands
of those who have already Oppressed you, and
will again if the opportunity offers, so that
on grounds of policy, both public and
private, you should give the preference to
Western insurance companies, whenever it
can be done with safety.
