So that its business is three times the
average of oil companies of its age ex-
cept one, and its income over threo times
as great as that one exception.
Z. Nor need it stop ut this comparison
with companies of its age, because its
business exceeded the business of twenty
eight companies from twenty-three to
one year older than itself. Its progress
is more remarkable, considering the fail
ure of crops and damages from floods
and droughts in our own State, and
the low price Of cotton in Southern
States. I.iI;,t'.
Its progress, too, is more 'commenda-
BILE when we see its small expenses;
which prove its economy. It is fair to
compare expenses only with companies
of like age, because the reduced rene,Cal
commissions of older! companies, their
long-accumulated office .business. and
their arge-acoumulated interest, both
without cost, of necessity greatly re-
duce their .'ratio Of expense to income. !"
Excelsior, Of New York, organized in
1867, had expense of 4067 per cent. !;
Metropolitan, of New York, organized
in 1867, had expense of :46.77 per cent. !;
Standard, Of New York. organized in
1867, had expense of 1897 per cent. !;
Union Central, Ohio, organized in 1867,
had expense Of 80. 43 per cent; Missou-
|ri Mutual, organized in 1867, had ex.
perse Of %. 80 per cent; Piedmont and
Arlington, organized in 1867, had ex-
pense of 18. S3 per cent; or this compa-
ny had less than half the average ex-
pense of similar companies.
It not only thus stands in comparison
with companies of its own age, but ba-
comes examplar OF economy to many
much older; and only seven companies
out of fifty eight organized since 1857
have so small o rate of expense, and TINS
| no American company within ten years
of its age has Displayed 30 great ecoDo-
| my. The seven above excepted have not
taxes included in their expense, while
this company has that item added; and,
with that added to those excepted, their
ratio nearly or fully equals the. expense
of this company. These views of the
matter are but more cheerful and COM
mandatory when investigation shows its
selection of risks has been 80 cautious az
is proven by its small losses.
Discnrding comparison with smaller
companies, whose business is compare
lively insignificant and not within scope
of proper average; or with companies
known to be reckless in risks, and turn.
ing to companies known aud reputcd to
be properly conducted, we find the ex.
hibit for 1870 shows the following ratio
of loss to amount at risk:

The average losses of the above com
panies is 1.1S, SO that this company has
less loss, by forty per cent, than others.
The ratio is more remarkably small
when the fact exists that from our Capt.
tol disaster, and other accidental causes,
1t lost the enormous and unusual sum of
$50, 600 in 1870. whereas it ought to have
cost, by experience of other companies,
only about $4,000 from asuch causes,
and will not reasonably exceed the latter
proportion in future. Deducting this
excess of unnatural mortality, and leav-
ing its mortality from natural causes,
with due proportion OF nocilental losses
added, its mortality would have been
only Sd. 100 Of one per cent. to it's risk,
or less than half the losses of other like
companies named.
Turning glance to its assets, they are
well secured and behr favorable compari-
son in each item with other good COM
panies. No wonder, then, with oil this
indisputable array Of evidence in its
favor, that this company should have
received such token of public confidence,
as tho large comparative size Of it's poll
oies shows. Out of sepenty.taUe compa.
nies reported in "The Policy Holders
Pocket Index" for 1870, published in
New York, only nine in the number have
30 large an average OF policies, and only
three much larger. The uudonbted sol.
