Mutual Fire Insurance Firm
Is Observing Its 10th Year

the firm during these early
years Is documented by the
story that Is legend among
policyholders. A stranger asked,
Where Is the fire insurance
company" The reply was, II
just saw him ride his horse
down the road" This could
have referred to none other
than Edward Stabler.
The first secretary and treas
urer was Robert M. Moore, Bal
timore. His salary In the first
year was the grand sum of 500.
BY the time of the Civil War,
1t had climbed to $1,000.
Policy No. 1 was for "Hare-
wood" the home of Edward
Stabler, now owned by Dean
Acheson. The historic land
mark was the scene Of the real
beginning of the firm. The
original policy insured the
property for $500.
The Mutual Fire Insurance
Co. has been faithful to its
name, as all through Its his
tory there has been more insur-
ance In force In Montgomery
County than In any other coun-
ty In Maryland or In the Dis
trict of Columbia. At the pres
ent time, Montgomery County
has about one-fifth Of the total
insurance and more than twice
that In the next highest county.
