Tue FIREMAN's FUND.
An Insurance Company That Possess
Public Confidence.

An Insurance Company That Possesses
Public Confidence.
The name Fireman's Fund has become
household word throughout the Pacific Coast
and is widely and favorably known over
the entire United States With this great
company it has been case of the survival
of the fttest, and though in common with
al! leading insurance companies it has eX-
perienced many Setbacks and has been
truly time-tred and fre-tested, it has with
stood all attacks and has always proved its
courage and ability by rising stronger than
ever from the midst of any and all adverse
circumstances. II to-day occupies an hon.
orable and prominent position among the
leading fire companies of the world. 1t is
credit not alone to the gentlemen who have
so ably handled it bnt to the entire
State. When the company was organized
more than quarter of century ago its
capital was S300,000 but this has been In
creased from time to time until now it has
capital of 100000. Its officers have al
ways been men Of energy, ability, deter
mination and tenacity of purpose and have
piloted the company through all ycisSi-
tudes. Its President, Mr.. ID. j. Staples,
has been at the helm for twenty-siX years,
and to his changeleSs integrity of pur-
pose and unceasing efforts of the broad
minded officers whom he has called
about him must be ascribed the almost
pheomenal growth and present prosperity
OF the FlremanS Fund Insurance Company.
The Weep President, w. j. Dutton, is
widely known in this city and has devoted
almost a lifetime to building up this COM
pany. Mr.. Bernard Faymonyille, the Sec
rotary, has also devoted his best energies to
the company for many years.
The Marine Secretary, MIR. j. B. Levison,
made his reputation with the Anglo Nevada,
and is constantly making new friends for
himself and for his company. The Fire
mans Fund passed through the great fires
of Chicago, Boston and Virginia City, aud
though it met with heavy losses, they were
promptly adjusted and paid. The present
financial strength of the company is as
follows:
ASSETS nearly. 5000, 900
With such ample assets and unblemished
record for nearly thirty years Of honorable
and prompt aling. during which time
over 100000 has been paid for losses, the
Fireman's Fund is certainly entitled to the
fullest confidence of those who desire first
class insurance. The management is most
conservative. and under the system pur-
sued by this company it is almost an i'm
possibility for disaster to overtake it. Their
elegant offices are located at 401-405 Califor-
MIA street, corner of Sansome, where they
occupy the entire first floor.

1t has come to be generally admitted that
to achieve the highest success in any occu-
patton a man must confine his studies and
energies to some special department. He
thus dey0tes his attention to the study of a
subject in its most minute details, rather
than to general consideration of number
OF matters having no particular connection.

who has general understanding Of num-

This is especially true in the realm of
medical science, and of late years we have
come to expect to find specialists for every
