We hive just been presented by
Messrs, Ed. s, Gay Il Co., general agents
for tho state ofTeXas, with copy OF
the eleventh annual statement OF the
Kansas Insurance company OF LeaVeh-
worth, to ue found In another column
of this issue. Comparing this state
ment for January LIST, 1875, with that
Of 1874, very handsome increase OF
assets IL shown, and of SSl 900 losses
sustained In the past year, only $1,000
remains unpaid (the same notyet due),
and in this regard, which Of all Others,
is the most important to Its patrons,
"rhe Kansas" challenges comparison
with the Oldest aud strongest compa-
MES of the nation. Notwithstanding
the fact that the past ten years has
been the most trying ever known to
underwriters, during which many Of
the substantial companies of the coun-
try have been swept from existence by
disastrous fires in every part of the ma
ton, at the close of its eleventh year
this company shows n surplus rs re-
CARDS policy holders of about $3.50, 900,
aud from the substantial character Of
its assets the Kansas naturally COM
mands the utmost confidence OF both
agents and the public where ever it is
represented.
The Hon. Ed. Russell, late superin-
tendent of insurance for the state of
Kansas, recently resigned that posi-
tion to accept the secretaryship Of this
company, and from his superior abili-
ty Us an insurance man, we are confl'
dent that in his new field he will add
new laurels to those already won In
his high and responsible office, the
duties of which were discharged with
honor to himself aud material benefit
to his state. Under the management OF
Messrs. Ed. Gay Il Co., it has secured
in Texas, the services of the very best
insurance agents in the state. At Gal
weston they are represented by Captain
r. ]. Hughes, whose merits and repu
tation as an insurance man are toe
widely known to need comment; al
Houston, by Messrs. Ruchman u Ram
sey, who stand at the head of the pro.
fession at Austin, by +. T.. Eggloster
AT Brenham, 10y Messrs. Giddngs Il
Giddlngs; ut Bryan, by >. u. Ander'
son; at Jefferson, by Cotton Bros al
San Antonio, by ]. Bartlett; at Waco
by J. G. Harrison e. Co.; at Sherman,
by J. p. Gerron; at Paris, by Barry &
Sluder; at Tyler, by ]. H. Brown,
aud at Marshall, by Lane g. McGill, all
of whom are first class insurance men,
which in itself is guarantee to our
people of the standing of any company.
Combining itself to q strictly conserva-
tive and desirable class of business, the
Kansas guarantees to its patrons first
class indemnity at adequate rates, and
1t affords us pleasure 10 recommend
them to the entire confidence of oui
people.
