State Farm Insurance Companies

STATE FARM MUTUAL AUTO INSURANCE CO. STATE FARM FIRE INSURANCE CO. STATE FARM LIFE INSURANCE CO. HOME OFFICE, BLOOMINGTON, ILL.

Your Automobile Insurance Company. State Farm Mutual had another great year in 1944 . . . increasing its lead as the largest automobile casualty insurance company in the world. Assets increased to a total of $43,561,282.94. Reserves increased to $30,024,630.96. Surplus to protect you and other policyholders increased to $13,536,651.98. .

The automobile is an integral part of our transportation system. Automobile insurance is essential for the individual. When a man buys a home he arranges for protection through fire insurance.

State Farm Fire Insurance Company, like its sister companies, enjoyed a steady and substantial growth and increased strength during 1944. The premium income for the year increased 39.55 per cent-to a total of $2,342,653.29, and assets increased proportionally.

Our Life Company was born, and its whole existence has been in adverse and unsettled times, yet in slightly over 15 years, it has made a record that has been equalled in only a few in- stances in the whole history of American life insurance.

State Farm Life has not only taken its rightful place among the companies of this nation, pioneering the sale of low-cost life insurance to meet every need, but has continued to plan for the future as well as today.

We enter upon 1945, after a successful 1944. Insurance in force on December 31, 1944 was $145,858,548.00. The assets of the Life Company increased $2,595,942.23, and now total $12,163,429.71. The surplus to policyholders now stands at $1,471,544.35. Our financial position is most satisfactory, so good, in fact, that it needs no further comment.

It gives business firms the opportunity to elaborate upon a description of their products and services impossible in the limited space of regular Alphabetical and Classified listings.
