Greatest Fire Loss Year In History.

The fire waste of the past year was the greatest in the history of this country, not excepting the years in which Chicago, Boston,, Baltimore or San Francisco were destroyed. In view of this tact, the annual reports of the companies writing fire insurance make interesting reading and comparison, for all who value protection and who are aware that some companies are good and others are better. Two American companies, only, the Home of New York and the Continental show a net sqrplus of .over $13,000,000.00 to policy holders.
