1t is pleasing to note that many
of the fire insurance companies
settled their losses in the late San
Francisco disaster so promptly,
paying one hundred cents on the
dollar.
1t is more to the point, however,
and of greater present interest to
all policy holders to call attention
to the remaining resources of the
companies that have weathered the
storm.
The policy holders of the Home
Insurance Company of New York
need give no thought for the
morrow" so far as the unshakable
stability of this Company's poll
cies are concerned. It's surplus to
policy holders is larger than that
of any other Company authorized
to transact the business of Fire In

the largest American Company.
