and the city SS. A minimum charge

consumer to 100 gallons of water per

The Arizona sentinel., 1908-05-27

In this issue of the Sentinel appears
the financial statement of the Occi-
dental life insurance Company of Ari-
iona and New Mexico for the year end
lug December 81, 1907.
The Occidental Life Insurance Com
pauy is the first territorial venture OF
the kind, and notwithstanding the fact
that the company is but q little more
than year old, its success has already
been assured.
The Occidental Life Insurance Com
pany was organized in 1905. IT began
its transactions throughout the terrific
fies of Arizona and New Mexico Janu-
airy 1, 1897. Agents for the company
have operated extensively in the north
\ern portion of the territory and all
have been successful in their work.
Operations in the southern part of Ari-
zona have thus far been limited on ac-
count of the great volume of business
in the north and in the face of the fact
that the officials of the company have
been extremely busy in the work of the
organization.
The principal object of the forma-
tian of the company is to keep "home
money" at home. 1t is estimated that
at least s2,OOO,OO0 annually are sent
east for insurance purposes, und never
a dollar of this is returned, with the
exception of payments of death and ae-
cident policies.
The organization, which carries a
capital stock as large as many of the
big companies of the east, is capital
ized exclusively by Arizona and New
Mexico bankers ard business men. The
character of the men who are assOciat-
ed with the company is an ample guar
aneee of its honest and efficient Tcan-
agement. among those interested in
Southern Arizona are j. n. Porter,
president Of the First National Rank,
