One of the institutions that Mont
pelier is proud of, is the old Vermont |
Mutual Fire Insurance Company, |
and all will be glad to know that the
past eight months have been time
of unusual prosperity with that cam
pany. During that period APIS pol
icies has been issued, insuring So,-
057, 953, the number being over 400 |
more than were issued during the
same time the year previous. An
other cause for congratulation is that
PA per cent. will pay all claims
against the company for the two
thirds of the year to date. There is
no old debt against the company and
it was never in its history in so good
condition to afford the public good,
cheap and reliable insurance, as it is
to-day.
