Insurance Commissioner T. NJ. Henry,
bent on breaking up that class of 50,
licitors who do business for illegal firms
and companies, has compiled a list of
all fire, life and miscellaneous agents of
the state together with the companies
they represent.
Mr.. Henry has printed these for free
distribution, with a view of furnishing
anyone with a copy who is DESTROYS Of
Investigating the legal status of any great
or company operating in the state. With
the aid of this pamphlet anyone can
easily ascertain whether an agent is
authorized to do business for the firm
which he claims to represent. He can
tell also, whether the stamp of approval
Of the state has been put on a firm which
is soliciting business.
With the view of obtaining the aid Of
the officers in the various counties of
the state in the fight against the few I'M
authorized companies that occasionally
slip into the state and for a time do
profitable business, Mr.. Henry will mail
to these officers copies of the booklet
with the request that any agents doing
business in the county who are not duly
authorized to do so be presented.
