thoroughly organized by the stock
companies to prejudice the people
against mutual insurance The rapid
progress made by the Northwestern

great source of worry to the board
companies which wanted to maintain
higher rates. They have adopted
some very peculiar methods to Sc
cure some point that they might use
against that company On the loss
of the Levi building at San Francisco
the four stock companies rushed in
to make payment ahead of the North
western and paid one third more than
the cost to repair. They have tried
to get advertising enough out of 1t
to make up for the $4,000 excess they
paid If they can show record
equal to that of the Northwestern
for the prompt payment of all loses
for the past eight years, and have
offered to open their books for COM
parison to any committee the COM
panies might appoint.
The Northwestern has paid all loss
es sustained, numbering 1896 in an
average of only three days after re-
ceipt of proof We challenge any
company to show an equal record.
