The Continental Fire Insurance Co. has a Cash Capital of One Million of Dollars, Cash Assetts of over TEN MILLIONS OF DOLLARS, a reserve for the security of insurance in force amounting to over Four Millions of Dollars, It has paid Losses to date amounting to the large sum of over Forty-Three Million Dollars. It conducts its business under the provisions of the Safety Fund Law of the state of New York, and has in the two safety funds Twelve Hundred Thousand Dollars. In the great Chicago fir ed year 1871, it paid in cash, losses amounting to nearly two millions of dollars, and so strong were its reserves that it did this without impairing its Capital. Thirteen months later, it paid in consequence of the large fire in the city of Boston nearly Three-quarters of a Million Dollars. Such facts as these should recommend the Company to all having property to insure. Why should you select a weak company when you can just as well select a strong one, which has been tried by passing through conflagrations in consequence of which one hundred companies railed? The 1 best is the cheapest. BRUIRKR & RANDLE, 1 Forsythe Block,Room 7.
