The Iowa State Insurance Company
Of Keokuk was organized January 26
1855, and is 1.-THE Oldest company in
Iowa. 1t has from s75 coo to 500 600
in bank at all times, subject to sight
drafts to meet any and all emergen-
cles. When losses occur, as they do
almost daily with a company doing
such a large and extensive fire in
surance business, the adiusters
give them prompt attention, and If
there are no suspicious circumstan-
ces connected with the losses, they
nand the assured checks for the
amounts as soon as the losses have
been adjusted. The company com
plies with Chapter 4, Title 8, the gem
eral insurance laws of Iowa: il has
been well managed for nearly half a
century; and it is popular with ali
who have ever had policies in that
company. This editorial is not an
Advertisement in any respect, for IL
vas written merely to give the read
'rs Of The Register the benefit Of the
lew feature we have experienced in
Ire insurance, by which 16 per cent
= the amount paid for an annual pol
cy was returned, in cash, at the ex-
'lration of the policy an experience
nat has never been less than 10 per

entered the Office of the humane Of

YES" was the answer. "What

"My name is William Miller" was
the reply. HI'm going to build a

the man to help me. Can you do
anything for me?"
1t was the first time that the assist
ance of the humane officer had been
solicited for the purpose of providing
funds to erect house, and he was
rather puzzled as to what ITO do.
Miller produced evidence, in the
shape of recommendations, to prove
that he was worthy of assistance.

The bill amounted to S4,79. This
included everything necessary to
build house 10 by IL feet, according
to the story of Miller. He said that
he had $3.50 in cash, and that the
lumber firm said that if he could pro-
duce another dollar they would let
the bill go for $3.50. The humane Of
ficer wrote note to Superintendent

UNIQUE IOWA FIRE
INSURANCE.

lg &
Iowa State Register: The Register
has also-had new experience with-a
fire insurance polica, and we are in
clined to think that this experience
win be interesting to many Of the
readers of this paper. Something
over a year ago we had a $1,000 fire
insurance policy written in the Iowa
State Insurance Company of Keokuk.
The annual premium was $3.50, the
same we paid on all other fire insur
ance. The company placed an adj
vertisement in the Register without
asking for insurance, but we thought
it proper to recognize the favor with
policy, as the advertisement and
the annual statement showed that
the company is as solid as a gold
bank. at the expiration Of the year
we received acheek from the COM
pany for Sc, but when the amount
was extended on the ledger there
n no charge to balance it off An
inqul. was sent to the company to
ascertain why the check had been
sent, and to what use it should be
applied. President Sc. Carey re-
piled:
The Iowa State Insurance Com
pany, on the 10th of the month pre-
ceeding that in which the policy ex-
pires, RENTS to the assured whatever
unearned premium there may be
after the losses and expenses are
paid. This is never less than 10 per
cent, often more. That Sc is your
just dues on your investment in a
premium for insurance in this com
pany, so it will not be necessary to
credit it to the conscience fund"
In other words the Register re-
ceived return of l6 percent of the
amount paid for premidm on the pol
icy That was a new feature in our
fire insurance experience, therefore
we have made an examination to as
certain something further in regard
to the Iowa State Insurance Com
pany, of Keokuk land have discovered
that it has been purely a mutual fire
insurance company for forty-five
years, in name and practice, aad is
unique in that respect. Instead of
having investors or stockholders to
! divide the profits of the company.
every policy holder is virtually
stakeholder SO far as benefits and
profits are concerned, but never liza
BILE under any circumstances for a
greater amount than the premium
paid for insurance received. So,
after the losses and expenses are paid,
all profits remaining are paid to the
policy holders, and in no year since
the organization of the company has
the return premium been less than
10 per cent, and oftener twice that
amount.
+. We have also ascertained that this
compspny insures property either on
the i've Or s iS, year plan, fer which i,
