Kansas with her fertile plains and
valleys. her busy manufacturing and
trading centers. her railroads with
shops and offices. furnishes employ
ment and a livelihood for a million
and a half of people. Enough public
schools and colleges are located in
the boundaries of the state to educate
each and every man. woman and
child. Enough churches have been
built to insure proper protection to
social conditions and guide the weary
souls to safety from this tumultuous
life to peace and quiet but when the
policy on that life is paid the bust
ness must be transacted in the east.
Two months ago a company was or
ganized for the express purpose of
offering insurance to the people of
Kansas without patronizing institu
tions founded and fostered in the
money marts of the east. From the
day the Kansas Home Mutual Insur-
ance Company secured a charter to
transact business in the state the
growth has been phenomenal
The nucleus of 100000 worth of
policies for which applications had
been filed before the granting of the
company's charter and the rapidity
with which new applications are be-
ing filed indicates the enthusiasm
with which the people of the state
hail the inception of the Kansas
Home Mutual Insurance company into
the business.
