The remarkably large line of accident n- surance written by the United States Gas ualty company during the few months 1t has been actively represented in Birming- ham is due to the unequalled liberalty of it's policies and to it's prompt and liberal settlement of losses.
 It is absolutely the only company which gives double indemnity for death or inju- ries from bicycle accidents, public elevator, burning hotels, cyclones and tornadoes, as well as from accidents of public travel. It covers many accidents not covered by any other company, including sun-stroke, freez- ing and somitambulism. It provides lOa weeks indemnity for disability, while most companies limit the same to weeks.
 It does not limit the indemnity to cash vabIe of the time of the insured nor pro- rate the loss in case of other insurance, as do other companies. It pays more than any other company for permanent disability and more than most companies for loss of either foot It pays all death claims im- n,ehntely on receipt of proof without waiting the usual ninety days Cor submit to discounD.
 The absolute solvency of the company as well as it's substantial and healthy growth and skillful management. are in dicated by the following official figures taken fromthe latest reports of the com missioner of insurance.
