SOLUTION OF THE BANK
GUARANTEE PROBLEM.

Now mans property may be in
sured against any contingency of loss,
be that property what it may, includ-
ing his cash deposited in banks. A
charter has recently been issued by
the state of Missouri authorizing the
Bank Insurance & Indemnity Com
pany of Kansas City to transact gen.
eral insurance business. But the
special object of the company is to
insure the assets of banks in an
amount sufficient to guarantee all de-
positors that their money is absolutely
secure.
This company has solved the prob
lem in perfectly simple and busi-
ness-like way namely, to provide
against loss to the individual deposit
or by insuring the assets of the banks
against loss of any and every nature
in an amount equal to the deposits of
each bank. More than six hundred
banks have already expressed an in
terest in this company including
number in western Missouri. Any
one interested as depositor can get
the information as to what banks have
awaited themselves of this chance of
absolutely protecting their depositors
by writing to the Bank Insurance G.
Indemnity Company of Kansas City,
Mo.
This company's form of policy has
been approved by the Attorney Gen.
eral of the United States. Its rates
are based on actuarial figures COM
piled by the leading actuary of this
country. The plans of operation have
been furnished by the most success
full insurance and financial men in
this country and its management is
now in the hands of the best talent
obtainable. Its object is to make
bank failures practically impossible
and to make it absolutely impossible
for bank depositor to lose any
money even though his money is on
deposit in bank that should meet
disaster.
Great companies have arisen in the
past in response to demands for in
surance in almost every line and now
this company has been formed for
the purpose Of granting form Of in
surance that Is Of more importance
and more greatly in demand than any
