u Meoe FORTUNE from Inc Ulg NnW HOrt
lire Of 1885.
The fire insurance companies that
did much New York business were all
ruined after the big fire Of 1898. when
one-ffth Of the value of the city wen,
up In smoke, and therefore many mer
chants who had their stores and goods
underwrittcn obtained nothing. One
insurance company, with headquarters
in Hartford, which had more policies
at risk than It's entire capital and sur
plus would satisfy, had q very ener-
getic president lie called together
his stockholders and told them the
probable situation Of affairs lie sug-
gested that an assessment be laid
upon the stockholders sufficient Ia
meet all the losses which had
been incurred and that everything
DO put into money as soon as pos.
sible. The reasoning by which he sus-
tanned this argument appeared sound
to the directors, and he took the stage
the. next day, his valise stuffed with
bank notes and bank checks. Arrived
in New York, he sought temporary
Office, and then went to q couple Of
morning newspapers, in which he in
serted an advertisement. The next
day tall stakes upon each Of which
was an announcement. were to be
found through the burnt district
These announcements read: 1.-THE
Stromboli Fire Insurance company Of
Hartford pays loss on presentation Of
proof. No waiting"
The moment that the first applicant
came in the president shook him by the
hand, sympathized with him in his
misfortune, looked ut his policy and
told him to come In the next day, when
he counted out the amount that was
due in good New York city notes.
II his policy was burned he made
memorandum Of Its number, sent that
to Hartford and had 1t verified, when
1t also was paid. The other companies
had little present cash and were dis
posed to procrastinate The merchant
did not know that he was going to
get his money at oil. In the meantime
three or four Of the energetic clerks
OF the Hartford company were scour.
ing the lower part Of the city for more
insurance, OF course at good rates
They obtained II in such quantities
that the president wa, not obliged to
,al on Hartford for much Of his guar.
nntec fund, and for twenty years after
1885 that company had the pick Of all
good business that there was In New
York city. 1t had paid It's losses when
others had not, and there had been no
luibbling and no formality. The
stroke was highly successful one
