in the real estate and insurance bust
ness, as now, and were located at the
corner of Washington and Nicollet
avenues, where they remained until
about ten years ago, when they moved
into their present quarters. The firm
came into existence long before 1878,
and the first report ever made to the
Minneapolis city council by a chief of
the fire department George A. Brack-
ett shows 1t as doing a, heavy insur-
ance business. In the early days and

recently. IT built my home on the
quarter of block at the corner Of
Fourth street and First avenue S.
had no idea then, or In 1873, that I
was too far down town for a perma-
Dent home. The house stood In the
rear of the property, and the grounds
were nicely laid out with walks and
flower beds and were filled with old
trees. I thought that I had built a
house In which r was to live for the
remainder of my life; but in a young
and growing city nothing is permanent.
The demands Of business were: such
that I first sold the sixty-six feet on
the corner to the people who built the
National Bank Of Commerce: -. For
that much of the property I received
$4,000. Later I sold the remainder
of it for $4,000. The quarter Of a
block cost me 5000, and I disposed
of it for about s150,OOO. 1t is not
often that in the lifetime Of one man
such advances in real estate values
are made. I mention this as a sample

been of the boastful order, and it
stands now, as always, upon it's proved
merits. In that day, however, it's
merits were mostly prospective, and
even their potentially was apparent
only to a few. For many years mem

directors or leading members. The
company was conservative and eau
tious in its views; simple, direct and
frank In it's methods, determined to
be safe as we'll as right, a typical
Quaker institution in all its character
istics.
The mutual nature Of the organiza-
ton from the first was most strong
ly emphasized, and it has never been
departed from. The company is in
purpose exactly what it was then, ex-
cept that it has adapted itself, with
great energy and courage, but with
never-failing prudence, to the require
ments of its ever widening field. 1t
has never shirked it's proper mission,
and has developed as that has de-
veloped, yet never seeking to reach
beyond it. What is best defined as
liberal conservatism is the real secret
Of it's even. though rapid growth, and
it's absolute stability.
In 1845 the project Of a mutual
life insurance company in Philadelphia
suggested itself to John w. Horror
a successful merchant, and, after he
had taken counsel with the leading
business and professional men of
Philadelphia, a charter for it was OBJ
tanned from the state legislature in
the winter Of 1857. This conferred
great privileges, covering almost ev-
cry kind of financial undertaking. APP

OLDEST HOTEL MAN
George G. Hyser, the Veteran
of the Business.

George G. Hyser is probably the old
est hotel man in the city, still in &C
tive service. He came to Minnesota
in the late sixties, and after expert
ence in the hotel business in several
of the outlying towns, he came to
Minnetonka, in 1878, building the Ar
lingtOn hotel at that place. This he
ran for two years, when he came to
Minneapolis, as clerk in the Nicollet
house, then conducted by Colonel John
T.. West. He remained at the Nicollet
house until 1884, when he went with
Colonel West to the West hotel, opened
i'll that year, and remained there until
1895, since which time he has been
in the hotel business for himself.
The hotel business of Minneapolis
was not large or important in 1878"
said Mr.. Hyser recently The Nicol-
let was the only frst-class house of
that time. It was then in it's glory.
and everybody of consequence who
came to the city stopped there. It
was in the very heart of the bust
ness section of town, and was sur
rounded. on all sides by the city banks
of that day. 1t was only a step from
it's front doors to any leading COM
mercial establishment and right across
the street was the old Academy of
Music, then the principal theater. In
1878, I think the Nicollet house was
being managed by Frank S. Gibson.
Colonel West took hold of it two years
later.
The Brunswick hotel, as now re-
member it, was being built in about
the 1878 period. The Windsor was
known as the Globe, and was then. as
now, at Washington avenue and First
avenue N. The Pacific hotel was far
Their up Washington avenue than the

The Modest Beginning
There was some little apprehension
| that a considerable number of deaths
might occur in the first year and a
guarantee fund of. 100000, repre-
sented by notes of responsible men,
was authorized by the trustees at the
beginning of 184S. 1t was doubtless
a wise precaution, but the money was
never actually needed, SO uniformly
prudent and prosperous was the man
agement of the company, and the loan
was Cancelled thirteen years after
/ ward by the return of the notes to
their makers, who meanwhile had re-
ceived interest on them from their
date.
Since this modest beginning there
has been disbursed for death claims
$3O,624, 649.42, and for matured en-
dowmepts and annuities $5,337, 006.47.
The company has returned to it's
members in the form Of dividends ST.

While each Of the committees has
important and often delicate interests
| in its charge, and all are vital to the
welfare Of the whole, the Committee
on Finance is ordinarily named first,
it's supervision extending principally
to the making Of investments and the
care of existing ones. Every loan
made by the company, whether on
mortgage of real estate or on stocks
or bonds, and all purchases or sales of
securities, have it's consideration and
approval. Applications for loans or
for purchase or sale are all presented
to it through the officers, after such
Investigation as is necessary to obtain
the fullest information. AS trustees
they are prohibited from lending to
themselves, directly or Indirectly, or
purchasing any investments in which
they are interested. The books and
accounts are always open to this COM
mittee. This supervision, always
faithfully rendered, has been of i'm
measurable benefit to the institution.
Claims and Accounts.
THE Committee on Claims is
charged with the examination and con-
/ sideration Of all claims against the

The Committee on Accounts is re-
quired to make a monthly audit of the
cash account, and annually, or oftener
in it's discretion, is by the regulations
of the board, instructed to examine
| the books, accounts, securities, mon
! eys, papers, effects and general state
of the business affairs Of the COM
pany, making a report to the board
of the amount Of profit and loss. This
committee determines the amount of
surplus to be apportioned to the
members annually, and the rate of in
terest, if any, which the company al
lows.
THE Committee on Policies and
Premiums, as the name implies, fixes
the rates of premiums and sums to

Agents and Examinations.
