Show I THE HOME I INSURANCE CO. L A BIG SUCCESS r ilr. Hon. Willard S. Hansen, President M of the Bear River Mutual Fire In- '. surarice Company was In our city Saturday closing a number of .import- ant Tlsks In this locality. The lines upon which this company Is operat-' operat-' ed, while 'new to this section of tho ' country, is nol .new to the country -' at large. In fact the system is over 160 years old, and In the New Eng- land and other states of the Union where It has been in operation for I a long time, It has made giant stride : in the Insurance business and haa saved thousands and thousands of dollars tothe farmers who have In- gured in' these companies. Under v. this system rates have been reduced f- to a minimum, in many- instances j. the rates being one half ofthose charged by- the old line companies, : , and In others one third of the , amount charged by old lino compn- nles has been Raved. ;? From the fact that Senator Han sen was tho author of the hill creating creat-ing this company some ten years ago, and from the further fact that the Editor of this paper had the pleasure plea-sure of voting for It In the State i Legislature, we were anxious to , know something concerning its op erations and asked Senator Hansen to give' us a short statement on what I " it had done. In reply tho Senator said: "Since . I . our organization some . nine yean I ago, our growth has been a healthy I "and satisfactory one., From a small I' beginning we have passed the mil- M . Hoa dollar mark and at present hare fP fl.SOjQ, tlaianlacs' la force.; We, kava paid 83 'fire losses and kept 'np ' on our operating" expenses on a, bas-I bas-I Is ot rates that are 60 per cent of I rates charged by the old line compa- ales, thus saving to those who hare I - insured with us 40 per cent of tho old line rates.' Our present surplus Is $7,6.00. If the history of4 tho past nine years Is a Reliable forecast of the next nine years, It Is .a foregone v :; conclusion that our rates will be fur- V I ther reduced. ', " From the fact, that this company ''. , was such a phenomenal success In , Box Elder County, after operating for a number of years, we were ' -t - granted an amendment to our char- ' i ter giving us the privilege of operate Ing In Box Elder, Cache, Rich and ,? Weber Counties. At present we have V 1100 risks In Box Elder County, 100 t "" risks In Cache County, 126 risks In Weber County. Our goal is 1500 ' In Box Elder, 2000 in Cache and 'f f - 200 In Weber. When this end Is . ' attained; we will be over a $10,000,- 000 company, solvent and solid as ? ' the rock, with rates so reduced that -we can compare Very favorably with v any. company that has reduced Its ' $ ' ra'testo the .lowest possible" minimum : . during the history of these .Insurance companies. '", T t The farmers ,and people of tho J1' State may not know it, but this plan - I of Insurance Is approved and recom- .' ' mended by the "Federal Farm Loan I- Bureau" and through this bureau m tthe.'twelve Federal Land banks are constantly advised to suggest and m recommend this class ot Insurance. Our company Is chartered by tho I " State1 and Is operated under the su- pervtslon of the Insurance depart-H depart-H merit of the State.
