President Rudolph of the State

assets to be S33, 500. Is. This is a
handsome gain for the year just
closed and indicates careful and ju'
dicious management by the officers
The fire losses paid for the year 1905
amounted to $40, BOA. 10 and every loss
was promptly adjusted, a feature that
has made the State Mutual popular
with its policy holders.
Reliable insurance and prompt pay.
ment of losses is what makes any fire
company popular, and in this connec-
ton the LEADER is pleased to say
that the State Mutual stands at the
head of the list. A company that
pays its losses promptly and without
Quibbling when ad justments are made
must merit confidence and support.
President Rudolph and General
Solicitor Wolgemuth are among the
best posted insurance men in the
state and the success of the company
is due to their superior management
and careful consideration Of the in
terest of every policy holder.
The success of the company is the
browning ambition of the men who
manage it, and their chief pride
comes from the fact that policy hold
ers know their interests are safe
guarded as a personal honor.
The State Mutual is the strongest
mutual company in the state and no
man can secure safer insurance than
it guarantees to all.
The editor has known President
Rudolph for 80 years as a resident of
Canton, and all know him to be one
of the most careful and conservative
business met in the entire state. The
general solicitor of the company Is
that grand old veteran, General J.. B..
Wolgemuth Of Mitchell, and any one
with knowledge OF public men knows
that his word is as good as gold and
his integrity on a par with a govern
ment bond. Such are the two lead
ing officers of the company. Is it any
wonder then that the company grows
and has the confidence Of the people.
The State Mutual is going after
property insurance and in
line it must meet with great
success because it gives safe insurance
a cost far below what the old line
charge.
The LEADER pays this compliment
20 the State Mutual and it's officers
because it has absolute faith in both
nothing more can be said.
