Big THING
FOR NORTHERN
STATES LIFE
Merger for Lake County
Concern Gives it Ten
Million Insurance.

At Rockford. Ill. last night, DR.. H.
E. Sharrer. president OF the Northern
States Life Insurance company Of Ham
mond Ind. with directors all over Lake
county. presented a proposition to the
officers and directors Of the Forest City
Life Insurance company of Rockford
Ill. for the consolidation of the two
companies. with capital stock OF
5000 600 and creating a surplus OF $50
000 giving the combined companies
5000 600 in assets and nearly $4,000. 900
of insurance in force. which proposition
was accepted by a unanimous vote Of
the board of directors. The entire capi-
tai assets and reserve together with all
the insurance of the Forest City Life
will be thus merged into the Northern
States Life Insurance company upon a
meeting Of the stockholders of the For
est City Life ordered to be held in
Rockford on May 18th and the approval
OF the Illinois State Insurance commits
sion.
The two companies Will be consoli-
dated under the charter Of the Northern
States Life Insurance company with the
Home Office here at Hammond. Ind.
and continuing the present management.
with the addition Of A. d. Warner, who
is president Of the Forest city Life,
who Will come to Hammond and take UP
active service with the company as an
officer, and also there viii be elected
additional directors from the director
ate of the Forest City Life TO act until
the close Of 1919.
This IS a big stroke IN life insurance
and has been carried on quietly by Dr..
Sharrer since last September. It IS
quite a compliment to the executive
ability Of the management Of the North
ern states Life Insurance company and
will place them as one of the solid
companies in the insurance field, and
also make them one of the strong finan-
cial institutions of northwestern Indi-
ana.

NO DEMAND FOR OPERATORS.

around Industrial centers in the hope
that factory work will pick up again.
Many of them are merely machine oper-

skilled machinists are being placed back
on the machines These men are due to
be greatly disappointed a 1t is believed
that they have served their purpose in

and working conditions than they have
been accustomed TO await them. 1t is

OF cooperation which has developed be-

this many factories have limited the
employment Of new help TO soldiers.
SHORTAGE IN MANY LINES.
Twenty-Five men could have been used
this morning but only fifteen places
could be fned because of shortage in
