(From the Hartford Post.) The Connecticut Fire.


The annual statement of the Connecticut Fire Insurance Company shows numerous gratifying results from the year's management of its affairs, and a splendid prosperity during the past five years. In that time the company has nearly doubled its premium income, and besides paying $500,000 in dividends to stockholders and several times that sum to policy-holders, it has increased its assets $400,000. The management has been conducted on an economic basis, expenditures having been kept largely within the regular in- come. There is not a company in the country which possesses more solid assets, there not being a non interest-paying or doubtful investment in ing at the corner of Grove and Prospect streets, which has been described at length in The Post, has been occupied, and is in all respects one of the most convenient and commodious working offices in the city. Altogether the company is in a very comfortable and prosperous condition, and without doubt has entered upon a more success- ful career than ever.


(From the Hartford Courant.) Connecticut Fire Insurance Co.


Although the Connecticut Fire Insurance Com- pany is recognized as one of Hartford's most en- terprising and substantial financial institutions, few people realize its growth and advancement during the past five years. In that time it has more than doubled its premium income, and, be- sides paying $500,000 in dividends to its stock- holders, has increased its assets $400,000. No company in the country has, or can have, a more solid schedule of assets.


Referring to the western department of the company recently organized, a leading Chicago journal says:


confidence than to-day, and is unquestionably in a position to meet and grapple successfully with all the unknown vicissitudes of modern fire underwriting, be they what they may."


(From the Hartford Times.)


Connecticut Fire Insurance Co.


The statement of the Connecticut Fire Insur- ance Company will bear critical examination. The character of its assets indicates great care and conservatism on the part of its finance com- mittee. The result of the business for the year is comparatively very favorable. The premium income has increased more than $50,000; the income from investments is greater than for the preceding year-in fact, greater than ever before. This is a good showing for a hard year-the hardest year in the business of fire insurance since 1872. The company is now fairly settled in its new and commodious office. It has recently organized a western department, and placed the management in the hands of one of the strongest underwriters in the West. The Connecticut was


" The present year has witnessed the establish- the entire schedule. The company's new build- ; ment of a separate western department, in the management of which that veteran underwriter and genial gentleman, Mr. Abram Williams, has been installed. It goes without saying that what- ever can be accomplished for the company by prudence, energy, and foresight, will be accom- plished in this field under the administration of such a man as manager Williams. The company was never more strongly intrenched in the public never in a more prosperous and healthy condition.

During each of the seven years past it has increased its assets. Has increased its surplus. Has increased the number of its policies. Has increased the amount of insurance in force, and decreased the ratio of expense.


OF THE CONDITION AND MANAGEMENT OF THIS COMPANY,


The Hartford Daily Courant says:


"Without entering into comparisons between the many companies in this city of insurance, we can, without partiality, say that the Connecti- cut General Life Insurance Company is one of the soundest and safest in which to invest. In the ratio of assets to the value of policies, by which the stability of a company is measured quite as much as anything else, the Gen- eral Life stands among the first, while its officers and directors are gentlemen of prominence and ability, of well-known integrity and long experience."


The Hartford Times says of the last annual statement :


"This is an exceedingly satisfactory showing, and proves that the Company is well managed and offers desirable insurance.


" The directors and managers include some of the ablest business men in the city.


"The Connecticut General, while not one of the largest companies in the city, has the reputation of being one of the soundest and must con-er- vatively managed."

The Mutual Life Insurance Company is in the forty-second year of its existence, and since the date of its organization has accumulated and has now safely Invested for the Sole Benefit of its Policy-holders, . . $103,876,178.51


It has during this period


Paid to its Policy-holders, $216,094,211.28


After careful consideration, and with the view of granting to policy-holders whatever benefits the experience of the Company has shown to be wise and safe, a new form of policy has been prepared, known as The Five-Year Distribution Policy. This a well-matured plan and offers to the insuring public many advantages.


It introduces all the liberal features which its own experience or that of other institutions have shown to be popular, never forgetting that first of considerations-the absolute safety of the great fund held in trust by the managers of this institution. A few of the features which characterize the "Five-Year Distribution Policy," are :


Policy-holders are allowed a freedom of residence, and travel much beyond the ordinary limits, covering, it is believed, the requirements of ordinary business or pleasure, and withont additional preminm or extra charge.


Death claims arising under policies issned on this plan, will be payable as soon as satisfactory proofs are presented to and accepted by the Company. In the early days of Life Insurance in this country, the dividends of the Mutual Life and other contemporary companies were declared once in five years. This offered an incentive to the assured to continue their premium payments for that term of years at least. As Life Insurance has become better known and appreciated by the people, the experience of this Company shows an average continuation of premiums greatly in excess of that term. In the new plan, the quinquennial period for distribution is again adopted, in the belief that it will produce better financial results to the policy-holder than would otherwise be possible.


Policies of this description may be issued to an amont not exceeding $50,000 upon a single life, inclusive of all other policies and additions issned by this Company, upon the same life, and at ages from eighteen to sixty five years. Also upon lives of females to the amount of $10,000. Premiums may be made payable in monthly installments, when desired. as well as quarterly and semi-anumnally.


A Paid up Policy is guaranteed at any time after the third annual premium is paid, in accordance with the laws of the State of New York.


Those who desire SAFE insurance with the certainty of securing all the advantages that a successful, conservative, and strong company can offer, are invited to apply to

MILLER, CONNABLE & CO., PORK PACKERS. XENIA, OHIO, AAugust 17 1984.


Dear Sir : In reply to your inquiry as to amount of insurance I carry and in what companies, I will state I have five thousandt (85.000 in the Equitable Life of New York, and fitteen thousand ($15.000) in Hartford Life and Annnity Insurance Co., under their " Safety Fund System " I will also state, having tried both the Equitable and Hartford. I greatly prefer the latter for several reasons, viz. : 1. The cost is much less. 2 1 5 sWer the security better than is offered by the high-rate or level premium companies. My cost in the " Equitable," notwithstanding I have been lastned for seventeen years, is still in the neighborhood of one hundred dollars per annum, while in the Hartford Life and Annuity it is only costing one is the neighborhood of two hundred dollars per annum, for $15,000 insurance, although I was fifteen years older when I made application. I think the "Safety Fund System" brings insurance within the reach of all, and I fully endorse it, and hope it will meet with the success it ments. I am Yours very respectfully, LUKE CONNABLE.
