Company Pays Big Dividends
Then Carries 10 Per Cent
of all Receipts
To Surplus

The nineteenth selnl-annual re-
port lust issued by the Northwest
ern Mutual Fire Association of Sc
attic shows payment of semi annual
cash dividends to policy holders of
SIS, 1887, and in addition to pay
ing these, divi bends it added SIS, =
633.71, or 10 per cent of all receipts
to permanent cash surplus. This
now gives the company cash and
securities equal to more than five
times the amount needed to pay
losses to expiration of all policies
as based on the Companys past nine
years experience, or so per cent
more proportionate cash resources
than the ten largest stock Compan-
es in the United States.
Non.Assessable Policies.
The company, although purely
mutual organization of property
owners, issues only non assess
able policy which its large cash re-
sources enables it to safely do.
Every new policy holder becomes
part owner of the company and
receives his proportionate share of
dividends. Its profits to policy
holders to date amount to the
handsome sum of 1886, 969.95
The extremely large profits of
the company are larg ely the result
of careful system of inspection
by which many losses are avoided.
This is clearly shown by the ohci al
report of the State Insurance De-
partment which shows that the
companies in amount of business
done in the state of Washington
with a loss ratio of only 80 per cent
of it's premiums, while the COM
pany nearest approaching it in a
mount of premiums had 81 per
cent loss ratio
Any person whose property is
up to the required standard of the
company is permitted to take adj
vantage of the company's service
and get the benefit of its dividends
which average more than 40 per
cent of the premiums paid.

Mr.. CONWAY TO STATE
ANTi-SAL00N LEAGUE

Mr.. P. V. ID. Conway, representing
Fredericksburg at the Antl-Saloon
League in Richmond, argued that the
negroes of that town are now more
prosperous and contented, and that the
progress of children in the schools
shows the effect of the town having
gone dry.
Mr.. Conway at another time said
that there was enough enthusiasm
in this convention to "set on fire the
State of Virginia, which was greeted
with applause. Mr.. Conway acknowl-
edged that there was a possibility that
the first test might show defeat, which
was met by cries of mo! Mo-" ''The
possibility is that we may be beaten, y
he asserted again, ''but it will be edu-
cational."
Mr.. Conway told that in Fredericks-
burg they were beaten again and again;
that sometimes the vets had more ma
jority than the drys had voters. But
we went right at them again. We
may be beaten in a State fight, but |
hope we won't. The fruit is ripe. II
is a crucial time. The tide will recede,
and if we don't take advantage we
may lose il altogether.
