were especially noticea Bile, and the vic

Shawnee Fire at Head of Insurance
Companies


That Kansas is a good field for fire in
surance companies is shown by the an
nual statements received by the state
insurance department from IS companies
doing business in Kansas The state
ments would also seem to show that the
companies are by no means doing busi-
ness at rates which will bankrupt therl
The premiums collected for fire iusu--
ance by these eS companies were more
than double the amount returned to the
policy holders for losses. OF course out
of these premiums the commissions OF
agents and the expenses of running the
companies were paid Some Of the com
panies collected from three to six times
as much in premiums as they paid back
TO the state in losses.
Tt is a gratifying fact. however. that
a home company the Shawnee Fira. did
by far the largest business Of any COM
pany in the state It led M only In
premiums collected, but it also had the
heaviest losses.
