The Delaware State FIRE and Marine
Insurance Co. of Delaware CITY.

The Delaware State FIRE and Marine
Insurance Co. Of Delaware CITY.
The State of Delaware is on as sound a fnali-
cial basis as any State in tho Union. We Go not
believe in imitation.
Our business men, are as rule, on safe sound
foundation. Our banks arc all in good financial
shape and our credit is good at home and
abroad. And while this is true OF our business
interests in general it il especially so of our In
surance Companies. And while We cannot boast
of such over-grown corporations as Philadelphia,
New York city, or Hartford. Yet our companies
are on much more permanent basis than the
largest companies OF either of the States above
named. And they are in position where they
can see cities buru, panics come, Jay Cookies and
Ralstons fail, without any fear for their osn
safety. Their assets are NOT affected by these
sudden fluctuations. Their business is safe,
their risks are of the best class They are man
aged with prudence and economy, and they move
Gu year hfter year, paying their losses out of
about 20 per ceut of their annual income, while
some Of tue largest companies in tho country ex-
pact to pay out for losses from 50 to rs per cent.
of their premiums, each year. and regard them
selves fortunate If they get of with GO per cent.
The Delaware State Fro and Marine Insurance
Co, of Delaware City, ID one among onr Gold
conservative, energetic companies Its state
ment i'll another part Of this paper speaks for
| itself. Its assets arc larger in proportion to
its bnsness and the deposits that 10 holds on
its perpetual risks are in such shape that it can
take up its perpetual policies at any time with
out imparing the stock Or inconyeniencins the
Directors.
The President Of the Company, Geo. b..
Money, is one of the most energetic, pushing
| men in the State, and his name ID sufficient
guarantee that the campsnys financial affairs
will be managed with prudence, economy and
integrity.
1t is the intention of the Directors to comply
with the Law of Pennsylvania, and open a
branch office in the city Of Philadelphia early in
| January, 1876, whon tue company will enter upon
limited agency business. Aud the Secretary,
James II. Myers. who has for years been con-
| nected with some Of the most successful as well
as some Of the largest Insurance Companies, in
| the United States, is confident that with the
safe class Of business on the compluys books
| at home, a carefully selected agency business
can be transacted in the adjoining states, that
| will not only strengthen the company but will
also bring handsome returns to the stockholders
And we are glad to see this evidence Of enter
prise in Delaware Insurance Company.

that tho rapid increase of our population is de-

would urge the necessity OF making better what
we have rather than opening moro. The very
best Investment that our citizens could make
