ILLINOIS MUTUAL FIRE INSURANCE COMPANY LOCATED AT ALTON .- This Company was chartered Feb. 23, 1839, and organized April 4, 1839, by the election of Benj. F. Long as President and M. G. Atwood as Secretary. The business was commenced on the purely mutual principle, without any subscribed capital. Each person insured became a member of the cor- poration, and gave a premium note for the estimated aggregate premiumis for six years,-five per cent of this note was payable in advance, and the balance made payable whenever the directors should deem the same requisite for the payment of losses, the note being secured for this purpose by the property insured. In October, 1859, the directors adopted the pre- paid plan, requiring ten per cent. in advance, instead of five, and giving a receipt for one year's insurance. At the expiration of the first year a re- newal receipt was sent for another year's insurance, and in like manner till the end of the term. No other assessment was made, except the ten per cent. required upon the note at the commencement of each year. Under this system sixty per cent. of the note was found amply sufficient to pay all losses and expenses during the six years for which each Policy was issued. In April, 1861, the Secretary, M. G. Atwood, was elected President, and John Atwood was elected Secretary. This Company, since its organization, has insured property to the amount of over sixty millions of dollars; has paid losses amounting to over one and a quarter millions of dollars; and on the first of April last had capital and assets amounting to $1,054,448.00. The annual income of the Company exceeds $200,000. The office of the Company is a neat and substantial building, 30x50 feet, two stories built of brick upon a stone basement, stands in the centre of grounds fronting 112 feet on Liberty street by 145 on Grove street, and cost over $20,000. The following is a list of the present Directors and Officers : M'PIKE & NEWMAN'S Real Estate Office, East Side Belle Street, Alton. In February, 1861, the charter of this Company was amended by the Legislature, removing several restrictions, and enabling the directors to adopt the stock plan of insurance.
