pQSsy.

The Home Insurance Company's 47th
s5emi.annual statement shows assets on Jan.
uary 1st, of over $4,000 After making
every requisite provision Tor re- insurance
unadjusted, losses and all other liabilities
the company has net surplus of 81 ,OO2, ia
over and above its cash capital of S., ,OOO,-
900 This is certainly remarkably strong
financial exhibit and in times like these It
gives the public assurance of uneuestionable
indemnity if insured in the Home. The as.
sets, moreover, are invested In the very
best securities; and it is obvious that both
the financial and the underwriting admins
tration OF this popular New York company
is simply admirable.
