Annual Meeting, Report and
Election of Officers.
The annual meeting of the
above association was held at
the court house in Milbank on
Tuesday last, January 2, and con-
tinued in session the following
day. The Evangelical is one of
few mutual companies, if it is
not the only one, organized in
the northwest that has been
successful through number of
years, and that has continued to
increase in business and financial
stability year after year. The
company has developed from a
very small beginning, and that
it has withstood everI crises
and grown stronger each year
both financially and in the con-
tideace of the people, is the
finest endorsement of it's man
agement that could be given.
