articles at Taylor's hotel, Jersey City,

are the only ones that have a direct

A PROUD RECORD.
Made by One of Topeka's and the
States Institutions.

The Kansas Mutual Life Insurance
company of this city, publishes its an
nual statement on the fifth page of the
State Journal today.
The institution came here five
years ago, bringing a splendid class of
citizens who bought homes and located
here permanently. In that time the
company has more than doubled its as
sets which now reach 1929, 1854. The in
surance now in force is nearly nine
millions. Death claims have been paid
to amount of $725, 900, and nearly
quarter of a million dollars is deposited
as reserve with the state treasurer. y
The insurance laws compel company
chartered under the statutes of this
state to deposit with the state treasurer,
as trustee for the policy-holders, the net
reserve on each and every. policy issued,

deposited with the state treasurer be-
fore the superintendent of insurance is
authorized to issue a license to do bust
ness as an old line company. By the
provisions of these statutes the insur-
ance effected by this young company is
as safe as that effected by any of the
older companies, and as safe as the in
surance written by this company will
be when the company becomes possess
