This ticket is intended 20 trap and de-
ceive country people. 1t is not 70 be used

Remember that and be on your guard,

1t makes no difference how a ticket is
headed, or what device it bears, it is the
names of electors on il which is the thing
of Importance. You do not vote for WEA-
YER, CLEVELAND, or HARRISON directly, but
for electors who are pledged TO vote for
their party's candidates. In the case OF the
Coalition ticket referred to every man on

Office and court house. the Alamo FIFE
Insurance building commands "a choice
position. Ii is one of the finest structures
IN the south, having IT'S feet frontage to
the east on Navarro street (the lot haY-
ing u frontege of 200 feed, witha depth
of 500 feet on College street; its
height is four stories and basement,
and it is constructed of white stone
I'd red pressed brick, with granite
trimmings, and has an elegant plate glass
'front.'. Every modern convenience is to
be found in this building, while the three
top floors are fitted up only for large
first class offices having plenty of air,
ventilation and light; the whole building
will be heated in winter by the improved
hot water system. A few of these offices
have already been contracted for on long
time lease, while the handsomely fitted
store beneath, S0x5915, is being consid-
cred by two wholesale houses in San
Antonio as a possible location. The
company will occupy the space on the
river side, and will be better able there
to handle the large business 1t is tran
tacting. The whole property is regarded
by conservative business men as safe
and solid investment even at 100000,
(which it has not cost the company.
The alamo" is to be commended for its
pluck and enterprise, and certainly de-
serves the fullest support and patronage
of the citizenship OF Texas. Not lite
attention has been directed to Texas by
this company, which. besides its 14O
agencies in this state, is also doing con-
sentative business in the southern states
and in Colorado. Illinois and Minnesota.
The value of the Alamo Fire Insurance
company's stock is above par, and none OF
it has ever been sold below par by any
bona fde stock owner of the company.
The annual stockholders meeting will be
held in the latter part of January, when
the directors will be prepared to present
a full and itemized report to their fellow
members.

Surplus of assets, over $50, lS9. %.


Surplus of assets, over $50, lS92S.
1t will be seen that uthiS Surplus of
assets " which the law forbids the com
pany TO divide among its stockholders
(and which the law rec uires invested in
United States and State bonds or in an,
office building,) is invested in splendid
building, leaving the capital of the com
pany intact in mortgages, cash and
valuable lot without the improvements.
And right here it may be stated that it is
great fallacy TO suppose that the losses
of fire insurance company must be paid
out of its capital or out of its net surplus!
Any statement to this effect is misleading
and wrong. If company cannot pay its
losses out OF its regular monthly receipts
NEW busineSs) IL is considered to be do
ing badly" And for the same reason a
company with even only $780, co paid up
capital aud doing well is just as good Sc
curiJy TO the policy holder as a company
with 100000 or even 100000 capital.
The greater the capital the greater the
liability, and the chief aim of every good
fire insurance company should be to
keep well within its income and to touch
neither capital or met surplus for
losses.
While the management of the Alamo
strictly scrutinizeS\ aud thoroughly in
vestigates each and every fire loss, re-
Sistng 10 the last every dishonest or sus-
able record in respect to all "honeSt
losses" sustained by IT,. a book full of
business like and respectable testimOni .
ais can be seen at the cOmpany's office
from insurers in every Uart of Texas GER
tifying to the promptnesS and fairness of
the "Alamo's" settlements. No unneces-
sary delays causing loss Of business; no
quibbling, no discOunting for prepayments
can be charged to the Alamo! and these
broad, business. like principals have no
doubt placed this Texas company, this
pioneer of the Lone Star state" in the
front ranks of the fire inturance concerns
operating in Texas. OF these there are
over 100 now doing business here, all with
headquarters in other states and other
countries, and which took over Sl,OO0.OOl
