A PROSPEROUS INSURANCE COMPANY

The home Office of that important and progress
sive company the Pittsburgh Life and Trust
Company, is located In Pittsburg. at Sixth street
and Liberty avenue
This business was organized about six years
ago. in 1905. with a capital stock OF $2JO.OOO.
and so great have its progress and success been
that it soon became necessary for the company
to increase it's capital to $1.OO0OOO. The assets
Of the company amount to S23 $40 229 10. as
shown by the statement OF condition issued on
the 31st day of December. 1908. The unassigned
funds. or surplus. were S729,9S1 CO.
On December go 1908. articles Of agreement
were entered into between the Pittsburgh Life
and Trust Company, of Pennsylvania and the
Washington Life Insurance Company. OF New
York. by which the Pittsburgh Life agreed to as
sumo all liabilities OF the Washington Life In
consideration OF the latter company turning over
all Of its assets 20 the former corporation.
The Pittsburgh Life and Trust Company has
been extremely economically managed In the
past. and IL is fair TO assume that the policy
holders of both companies will be benefited by
the reinsurance agreement. The organization is
well established. and with it's force OF about
five hundred men this young company can justly
feel proud OF what 1t has accomplished in
so short a time The annual income of this
company is over 100000. which shows In
what esteem and regard ii is held by the
public. 1t also shows with what aggressiveness
the company Is carrying on its business in these
times of sharp competition. when every inch Of
the ground must be fought for if success Is TO
be reached.

PROTECTING PLATE GLASS
How Doe Company Serves the Public by Ia
surfing Glass.

tn Metropolitan Casualty Insurance Com
pany began operations on April o. 1874
Founded on clean and honorable business meth
DDS, its career has been one of uninterrupted
progress and prosperity. For years it confined
itself to one branch Of underwrting-platc glass;
but some five years ago the additional lines of
personal accident and health insurance were
taken up and while those lines are stin com
paratvely modest in premium volume the work
already done is ar excellent foundation for fur
Their upbuilding
The company originally bore the title "The
Metropolitan Plate Glass Insurance Company"
referring to its organization in 1874 the an
nual report OF the New York Insurance Depart
ment for that year said: "The Metropolitan
Plate Glass Insurance Company organized in
Brooklyn last year. Is the only one of that
character which has been created in or admitted
20, The state under the insurance laws thereof"
Upon going more extensively into the casualty
business il seemed advisable to amend the title
so that 1t would not seemingly specialize any
one line OF business therefore the title was
changed to '3fhe Metropolitan Casualty Insur-
ence Company"
This company is the recognized dean of the
plate glass business In this state and it is
firmly establishing itself in the accident and
health lines also The company was organized
plus was paid in. From the very time of it's
organization 1t has Laid IT'S way out of the
profits, never at any time drawing on the capt.
tai. but always leaving that intact. something
that could not be done to-day. In 1902 the
company increased Its capital from 100000 TO
100000 by the payment OF a 100 per cent divi-
dend to stocllhOlders-another instance of tho
pre-eminent success attending the company 8
energetic, enterprIsing activities.

over fourteen years. In all he has occupied an

BIG BANKS COMPARED.

Recent comparisons between the banking
power Of the United States and Of England must
IN an approximate degree. serve to stand as n
comparison between the London and the New
York banks. as through the institutions Of each
city are transacted the bulk OF the banking
business OF both countries. England has onlv
eighty separate banks which operate S.sOa
branches. while in this country there are mora
than twenty thousand banking institutions with
a large number Of branches The per caDita
estimate for the total banks Of the two countries

contrary and intlmated that future
events might throw interesting infor-

Mr Crane said that he knew abso-
lutely nothing of the Chicago inter
views which was made the basis OF
Mr. Knoxs action until he reached
Washington, Until then. no one had
mentioned that matter to him.
Mr Fisher said that Mr.. Crane new

THE contention that Mr.. Crane had
engaged a newspaper man as a press
agent was a downright falsehood,' y

Mr.. Crane This newspaper man
was bound for the Orient for the pur-
pose OF writing magazine articles and
