hofE GUARDIANS MERGED

h0f: GUARDIANS MERGED
Local Fraternal Insurance Company
Has Merged Its Business With
Loyal Americans of Republic
For the past two or three weeks a
deal has been in operation for the
merging Of the Order of Home Guard.
ians of this city with the Loyal Amer
leans of the Republic, of Springfield,
III. The negotiations have been car
ried On by Supreme Secretary Milne
for the Guardians and 1. F%eltenstein.
the supreme deputy for the Ameri-
cans. Today it was announced by
the representatives of both companies
that the merger had been agreed up-
on and that the entire business of
the local company would be assumed
by the Loyal Americans.
For the present, at least. the main
Office Of the company will be con-
tinued in Mitchell, but eventually it
will be moved to Springfield. MT.
%Feltenstein stated that there were
three or four representatives Of the
Americans in the city at the present
time who would take up the work of
further building up the business.
In making the change Mr.. Felten-
stein stated that there would be no
change in the rates nor in the poll
cies of the present members of the
Guardians. The business of the local
company amounts to about 5000
policy holders and Mr.. Feltenstein
stated that there were a sufficient
amount of assets to pay the entire
Indebtedness of the company includ-
ing the death claims.
The Home Guardians was organic
ed in Canton in 1901 and was moved
to Mitchell a year or so after. The
officers built up a large lodge in the
city. and it has flourished well ever
since.
Mr.. Feltenstein stated that the
Loyal Americans was organized in
1897 and today has a membership
of $1,000 distributed in "a states.
Its assets amount to 100000. It
is operated on very much the same
plan as the Guardians. and has quite
a large membership in its home state.
MIR. Feltenstein regarded the merg-
as being highly beneficial to the
present policy holders in the Guard
ians, for they are given the benefit
of an increased membership and
stronger assets. Before the merger
took place the insurance commits
sioners of both Illinois and South
Dakota investigated the two compan-
les thoroughly agreed that the merg-
er could be made.
1t is to be regretted that the bust
ness of the company will he taken
away from the city, for it meant the
disbursement of quite a good deal of
money in the course of a year
through several institutions.
Mr.. Milne said he had not thor
o. gAls decided upon his future
G ,se, except that in all probability
would engage in the real estate
ness. In February Mr.. and Mrs.
ne will leave on a trip through
| rope and expect to be gone about
siN months. After their return they
Will decide upon their future loca-
ton.
