The Milwaukee Mechanics, not the
Old Milwaukee IBustedl Fire
Insurance Company.

Editor HERALp:- understand that the
impression exists in Grant County that tn e Mil
waukee Insurance Company which was fore
ed into bankruptcy some time since and which
hes sued number of parties in this section
on notes gwen for premiums, and the Mlwau-
kee Mechanics Mutual Insurance Company,
for which | am the accredited agent, are one
and the same concern; or in other words the
same company. regret the existence of this
impression for there is not the least shadow
of truth in il.
The Milwaukee Mechanics' Mutual Tnsur-
snce Company was org nzed 10 1852 and
from that date 10 the p. esent time has trans
acted an honorable and Legitimate business, and
in NO INSTANCE has the company sued any
individual for the collection OF anv premium
or note.
The year 1871, which proved so disastrous
10 many companies, DID NOT IN THE least af-
feet the NJ, chanic's losses at Peshiigo and
other parts of the State, amounting TO $ co.
0C0 which were promptly paid by sight drafts,
without deductIug for interest or exchange
and that 90, without efectng the cash assets,
as the receipts for that year, amounting TO
Sl42 900, exceeded the losses aud expenses by
S.. 900.
The business Of 1872 vindicatss The reputa-
ton of tina company, and shows the high esti-
nation in which il is held where known
The cash receipts for that year are $lS2 9l0.-
80, (belng he largest amount received by any
company DONG business in Wis.,-see Report
Of Sec'y Of State.l The cash assets OF tie
company on the Isl of January, 1873, we're

iues, and leave CASH SURPLUS of 1885,
