Start Of a BIG Business.

The meeting at which the prelimi-
nary organization of the Iowa State
was effected was held in January.
1855, in the office of Judge George
Collingwood Dixon, grandfather of Mr.
g. C. Tucker, the present secretary OF
the Company. DR.. Freeman Knowles
presided as chairman, and William F.
Turner was secretary. A short time
later the Company was incorporated
and began business.
On the walls of the home office is
to be seen framed the first policy that
was issued. 1t was dated July 25th,
1855. and the policyholder was John
". Rankin (the father-in-law Of the
late John N. Irwin, at one time treas
urer OF this Company, whose two
story brick building on Blondeau
street between Sixth and Seventh was
insured for $500 against loss by fire
The policy was signed by c. H. Perry
.@vvFio was the first president, and Will
liam F. Turner, who was the first sec
rotary.
Since that policy was written there
has been witnessed continuous and
gratifying growth in the business and
resources of the Company, which has
always been conducted upon purely
conservative business principles and
can be relied upon as a sure guaranty
10 Its patrons against misfortune and
loss.

Significant Statistics.

The business of the Iowa state for
the past year has been the largest in

crease During the first six months
OF the year 1911 insurance amounting
to So ,002, $4,000 was written. The to-
tai amount written since organization

UNPARALLELED GROWTH

A pioneer In the field OF fire insnr.
ance and prosperous and reputable
exponent Of this modern expression
of an increasing and Heterogeneous
commercial and social life, the Iowa
State Insurance Company Is one OF
the business institutions that is
credit to Keokuk and to the long list
of prominent citizens who have been
associated with its growth and deyel-
opment. The Company's continued
success has been far beyond the most
sanguine expectations of its origina-
tors. The fairness In the equitable
and prompt payment of its losses that
has characterized 1t since its incep-
ton has won for 1t reputation that
commands the respect and confidence
Of It's patrons and challenges the adj
miration of it's rivals and competitors.
With creditable business career OF
fifty-six years behind it the Iowa State
is the oldest fire insurance company
in the state of Iowa.

How PoIIeyholders Profit.

It is not alone the careful, exper-
fenced and equitable management that
commends the Iowa State to the con-
tinuous support of Its old patrons and
attracts new ones, but the participat-
ing OF the policyholders in the profits
OF the business, which have not been
less than ten per cent of the prem
iums paid in any one year during the
whole existence of the Company
Since 1855 the total amount of return
premiums or profits paid to policyhold,
ers has been 1895, 100000 Another fea-
ture Of management that increases
confidence OF the policyholder and
strengthens surety against loss Is the
maintaining of fund for contingent
cies In accord with a provision of the
articles of incorporation that provides
Guaranty Fund" for the purpose of
paying losses and fulfilling the con-
tracts Of the insurance OF this Com
pany.
The older the policyholder the bet
ter he Is satisfied with the manage
ment and his indemnity.
The Management.
The present officers and directors
of the Iowa State are:
Off1cers-William Logan, president;
A. n. tombstone, vice-president; Wells
M. Irwin, treasurer; G. c. Tucker, sec
rotary; J. I. Annable, assistant secre-

These men are representatives of
the best there is in the financial aud
commercial life of Keokuk They are
public spirited, conservative and
thoroughly familiar with the duties en-
trusted to them.
The remarkable prosperity and
splendid growth that has character
tied the Iowa State In the whole of
its creditable career will undoubtedly
be continued In the years to como.

SPRECKLES ALIGNED
WITH DEMOCRATS
Sugar Magnate, Lifelong Republican,
Joins Progressive Ranks.

New York, Nov. 4.--Claus A.
Spreckels. head of the Federal Sugar
Refining Company and the most I'M
compromising foe of the Sugar Trust
in this country announced to-day that,
although lifelong Republican, he has
decided to quit that party and align
himself with the progressive Democ-
racy.
Mr.. Spreckels furthermore asserted
that the majority of business men of
large affairs among his acquaintance,
who, like himself have staunchly sup
ported Republican principles and can
didates with their influence and their
money for years, have turned their
back upon their old political utilization
and are preparing to give active aid
to Democratic success in the nation
next year.
