Dour Sir: Can you nacurtalii for inu whether tho Hankers Reserve Life Association of Omaha Ih lliianolnlly sound anil
whether Its coml it Icin would Jimtlfy mo In taking out another policy?
Have you any means of looking Into lis nfTnlrs, and business methods?
Do you carry a policy In tills company, and If ho how much? If not, would you fuel safe In doing so?
I ask these questions because you aru reputed to ho the heaviest Insured man In this ntnte anil are considered well Informed
about life Insurance companies.
Trusting I inn not Intruding too much on your time, 1 am, Yours truly,

E. ROSEWATER, Editor
OMAHA, Neb., September 10, 11)01.
Mr. K. M. OASTHTTUIt, lllalr. Neb.
Dear Sir: I hope you will pardon delay of tny response to yours of September 5th occasioned by business pressure and
professional work.
While heavily Insured I do not profcm to be an Insuranco expert, anil would not venture to proffer advice as to tho pro
priety of your Insuring In any particular company.
I do not carry a policy In the Hankers Reserve, llrst, because I already have more than $275,000, which Is all 1 can afford,
and. second, because I have reached tho ago limit llxed by tho Insurance companies.
On the main points of your Inipilry I would say that from the best obtainable Information the Hankers Reserve I.lfo Is
llnauclally koiiiiiI. Within thu past six weeks Insuranco Commissioner Ilabcock made an Investigation Into the business methods,
resources and liabilities of that company, nnd after a protracted examination pronounced Its itianagemenl and condition satisfac
tory. Two weeks ago Mr. Iloblson, Its prwhlont, urged me to examine thu books and records of his company, and after spend
ing nbout two hours In their Inspection, I became satlslled that thu system of accounting -was as perfect as any that I have
seen In any business establishment. Tho list of policy holders Is made up very largely of the most active and progressive class
of business men In every section of the state.
Incidentally I learned that thu company Issues no policy above $5,000 and has reinsured every policy above $2,000 In an
Iowa company that Is represented as hound and safe. This reduces tho risk of tho Hankers Rci-ervo Life very materially and
affords additional protection to its policy holdor. Very truly yours,
. , H. ROSHWATKR.
