~ h& To Start At The Beginning Twenty-three years prior to the signing of the Declaration of Independence the first mutual fire insurance company was founded in Philadelphia by a group of piominent citizens, among whom was Benjamin Franklin. John Morton and Robert Morris, signers of the Declaration of Independence, were also among the founders of this first company. This company, the first in America, has been a pattern for all mutual fire insurance companies and has operated continuously to this day insuring many of Philadelphia’s historic buildings for a century and a half. Independence Hall at Philadelphia and Washington’s home at Mt. \ ernon are among the list of buildings continuously insured in mutual companies. These buildings are sacred as landmarks of America’s growth and greatness. Care in the choice of insurance for them must have been used and the choice was mutual insurance, the same type of insurance that has grown to a position of strength, solidity and prominence in Indiana.
