The undersigned desire to recommend the
Republic Insurance Company 10 your conf
dence and patronage. The Company Is, be-
yond all question, one OF the strongt 81 If not
the strongest, in the country. Ii has Cash
Fund of over ONE MILLION DOLLARS
available at any moment, of which S643.OO
is in United States 6 per cent Currency
Bonds, REGISTERED. Its funds are never
loaned, and by keeping them IN available Sc
curities, the Company is enabled at all times
TO meet its obligations promptly. Losses are
adjusted promptly, and are paid at once, with
out discount for interest. Their Is no Sixty
Days" or other time clause in the policy.
In addition TO the Cash Fund, the Stock
holders, who are among the most responsible
men of the West, are legally bound by sub
scriptions and the charter, 10 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 10 insure and all
others who care 10 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 10
Liabilities of several of the leading companies
doing business in the Western States:
Republic has OF cash assets to each 500 Of
Total assets Gnc.uding stock sHbscriptionl
Etua has total asset. 10 each slOJ at risk 23l
Home, New York 50
Hartford, of Connecticut 80 - GO
Continental, Of New York 90
This comparison is with companies rccog
nized to be among the strongest in The
country.
The Republic, il $ 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 o; the
largest of the Eastern Companies.
Ii has been the design OF the Stockholders
to make the Company the strongest in the
United States, and We uThe.itatingiy assert
that the security 10 policy holders has. never
been e,,uaIled by any other Fire Insuran;,
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 oil the policies the |
entire cash capital and surplus, the interest |
from investment and the premium income,
together with Jour millions OF subscribed
capital, which has not been called in, and it |
is but the truth TO say that the security IL at
least ten times greater than il 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 L. .sht lie kept AT home, and !
from a long monopoly CT the business have
tecome exacting and intolerani.
The Republic was established through the |
combined efforts OF thousands OF business |
men throughout the West, for the express |
purpose OF protecting themselves ami the
people OF the West against the undue exaction |
Of Eastern Companies, and has been The means
of breaking down the great Eastern coInbina-
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 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-ihinking 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 superior quality of fire
insurance, at less price than You were
compelled 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 10
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.
