The HoicaTd Insurance Company of
New York was organized in 1925, and
its claims are therefore augmented by
that respectable conservatism which
usually attaches to any old corporation.
The paid up capital is $500, 900. while the
total assets are 1885,, 75l, a considerable
portion of which is invested in Govern
ment bonds. During the past four
years the business has more than
doubled.
The Ne1C York BoiceIy-This is also
An old established company. having
been organized in 1893. II presents
several very good claims for business,
having assets to the amount of about a
million dollars, and the handsome net
surplus Of $552,02030. Its net surplus
is considerably in excess Of it's cash
capital, which ia a rare occurrence in
fire insurance. The Bowery has S775, 900
in United States bonds. L. IL. WEBB.
