Mitchell Republican; We are pleased
to commend any Dakota institution,
but particularly SO when it is one that
gives such universal satisfaction to its
patrons and is in every respect SO honor
ably managed as the Yankton insurance
company. This company was estab-
lished in 1888, and has pushed itself
steadily to the front by the entire and
deserved confidence which it has secured.
Its business is confined entirely to farm
property and detached buildings, no
mercantile risks being taken, and for the
first six months of this, the fourth year
OF Its existence, the premiums received
amount to sac, 041 Sc, a showing that
would be creditable to a much older
institution and can be explained on no
other ground than the natural push of
Dakota business men. d. w. @. Tanner
secretary and real business head of the
company, is a gentleman of thirty years
experience in the insurance business aud
is conducting the affairs of the
q safe and conservative manner. Among
the officers and directors of the company
are many gentlemen well known
throughout the territory such as Newton
Edmunds, l.. M. Purdy, J. H. Teller,
and Others, who's connection with this
institution is sufficient evidence of its
character and standing. We can recon.
mend it to the farmers of Dawson
county.
