The Springfield has continuously transacted
business for fifty years , and has disbursed for
losses over $26,000,000. It has borne its share
of the burdens imposed by the great conflagra
tions at Troy in 1862 , Portland in 1866 , Chicago in
1871 , and Boston in 1872. It is one of only three
fire insurance companies that have been repre
sented in Chicago continuously since 1851. It has
never failed to promptly meet its just obligations
with 100 cents on the dollar. It stands today in
the front rank among American underwriting insti
tutions. It insures against fire , lightning and
tornadoes , and has agencies in all prominent
localities throughout the United States.
