STATE ALLIANCE FIRE INSURANCE CO.
There are so many counties in this
state in which it seems almost impos
sible t get a fire and 1 ghtnlng com
pany started, and we have been urged so
many times by alliance men to encour
age a state company, that we have con
eluded to make the f dlowing proposal:
As soon as we have the names of fifty
men who will insure 950,000 or more we
ill submit articles of Incorporation and
bylaws for their consideration and ap
proval. If such articles do not meet
the approval of the proposed member,
he is thereby released from tsk;ng
membership in the proponed company.
We will endeavor to make this com
pany one that can be endorsed by all
allia ce peopl and in fact we atk thnt
president and ex-presidents of county
alliances lend us a htdplnv hind. We
a not want to start tni company as a
money muk'nir conoern for any one, but
because we are asked to do so iy men in
nnunt'M that have no county fire and
ugn'ning company but are being bar
ased by un-crupulus agents for
money making companies Tbe
State Alliance has only endorsed one
company and that is the Nebraska
Cyclone, Tornado and Wind Storm In
su ranee Company, We ho not want to
Interfere with any county mutual In
su ranee c mpa'y, because there are
many advantages that they have over a
state company, wblle a state company
also has some advantages over a county
company. ,
We hope to hear from many within
this month in counties where tbere Is
no local company..
A HELPING! HAND.
As soon ss tbere are members enough
to organize a locsl company they may
withdraw from the state company and
organize a company oi tneir own.
