A Warning Against Illegal
Insurance Business in
the State.

It is the desire OF the Insurance Com
officers and citizens of the State to the
repeated attempts of certain companies
to do business IN this State IN violation OF
the law. He is led to make this public
announcement because of the fact, that SO
many letters are received at the depart
ment making inquiry as to the reliability
of certain companies.
There are two classes of companies that
seem to be determined to do business III
the State without complying with the
law. One class Is Registry Companies,
represented by the international Registry
Company, giving as It's home office 181
Broadway, 1879 Broadway and sometimes
.231 Broadway, New York city, the Com
mercial Registry Company, OF st. Louis,
Mo. and others. These companies pro-
| pose to register their victims and to
sell them cheap accident insurance. They
are required to be licensed by this de-
partmeut under section 81 Of the general
! Insurance law, and no one can legally work
for them as agent or in any way repre-
sent them IN the State without being IL
| censed by this department.
The other class Of companies above re
TERED to are certain bond. investment and
such like companies. These are also re-
QuIred to be licensed by this department
and to have their agents licensed. They
are making repeated efforts to do bust
ness IN the State without being licensed
by this department. Some Of them have
stopped business upon being notified by
the commissioner
The commissioner desires to warn citi-
zens of the State against these concerns
and to urge upon them and the officers
OF the State to give him any information
that they may AVE or that comes to their
knoWledge as to any attempts Of any of
the above class of companies to do bust
ness IN this State. 1t is the desire of the
commissioner in the premises to do his
duty IN enforcing the law and to protect
the citizens of the State from unlicensed
and worthless" companies.
Commissioner Young requests that the
papers OF the State Civ publicity to this
article so that the people may be warned
against the parties to whom he refers.
