5Cash Assets, – – – $5,459,013 85.
6Annual Income, – – $4,500,000 00.
8These sterling and time-honored Companies continue to do a legitimate Fire Insurance business, insuring on all classes of desirable risks, at rates consistent with solvency, and a fair New England profit, being uninfluenced by the tariffs of "combinations," or the ruinous rates of companies that, through ignorance of the actual cost of underwriting, or a lack of confidence in the quality of the indemnity furnished, are disposed to gamble away their assets in a suicidal competition with companies of sterling worth, inexhaustible resources and immense annual incomes, secured from small risks, scattered over the entire continent, making large losses impossible.
10Losses promptly adjusted by our Special Adjuster, and paid in United States Gold Coin.
12The AETNA and PHOENIX are the only Companies doing business on this coast, that have fully commissioned agents at each prominent point, authorized to bind the Companies by the immediate issue of policies.
