GROVTH OF IS NTERES1G Lake County people are learning "with ro little piide and satisfaction of the rhenonu r.al growth which the Northern States Life Insurance Co., is enjoying. Figures compiled for the Present year show that the company is now one of the strongest and most substantial of the country, a fact that is all the more g rat i r'v ing when it is irnembered that the company is strictly a homo institution controlled entirely by Hammond and Iike county men . A remarkable feature which has Just i'tfrx revealed Is that the Northern States now has more assets for each IK'O of liabilities than eight out of any ten companies, which Can be named It Is now eight years old. havinr been' organized by Chicago men and managed by them until four years ago v. lien Lake county in-n took control. Some interesting figures are given illustrating the growth of the institution in the four years. In 1315 the income was $-;. 9S7. in 1917 it was $1IS.35, while this year It has jumped to $2l$.116. Premiums amounted to $73.575 in 1913. They increased to $9S.SCf in 1317 and are nearly double that this year with J1S4.U00. Still more marked is the growth of the company's assets whi.h in 1915 were $Ct54.14?. They increased to $3'".. 037 In me next two years and have, now reached $334,659. nearly a million. The capital and surplus is $261,793. Officials point to the fact that money Invested in premiums has not been snt out of the county for investment i elsewhere, but has been used here in i financing seme of the county's !mprovment projects. In the last year j fmir $50,000 loans and at least ten ranging from $"0fli) to $20,000 have been bond led by the company . As banks are permitted to loan only up to ten per cent, of their capital stock will be seen that practically all it of these deals were beyond the reach of the banking institutions of the region. The insurance company is under no su'-h restraint and even now the Northern States is about to close up a loan larger than it has made since it was organized . Since January 1. th company's first mortgage loans have increased from $323,000 to $(567,000 while its assets in Liberty Loan and other bonds have grown from $4..ooo to $95,000. INNER A Plans for the organization of a Men's ClJb were discussed lart evening at the fisa dinner which was given by the i Men's Dinner committee of the irst Presbyterian church. Dr. Shanklin. who acted as head chef, was gratified to see 135 men turn out for his first dinner of tho season.
