WE wish to announce that we have established a 

 department for securing positions for such that 

 require them. Our services are absolutely free. 

 We also wish to establish a complete up to date directory 

 of those who are in employment. In order to accomplish 

 this successfully, we require the assistance of every 

 reader of this paper. If you will kindly send us your 

 name linked with that of your employer, also of those 

 whom you know, we would consider it a great favor.

ties, nearly all of which would com- 

 mand a premium, and $2,709.92 cash, 

 making a total reserve fund on hand 

 Aug. 1, 1906, of $16,109.92. 



Sixty-eight losses, representing a 

 breakage of 37,321 square feet of single 

 thick glass and 21,046 square feet of 

 double thick glass have been paid dur- 

 ing the year. 



1,019 losses have been adjusted since 

 the organization of the Association, in- 

 volving a total expenditure of a little 

 over $101,000. 



A series of hail storms in Central 

 New York, Northern New Jersey, East- 

 ern Pennsylvania and Delaware, did 

 large damage, but the members ot the 

 F. H. A., with two exceptions, were 

 not touched. 



The apparent danger last year of an 

 extra assessment did not materialize, 

 and the Association commences the 

 new year with a handsome balance 

 both in reserve and emergency funds. 



The unadjusted losses at the close of 

 the year will aggregate less than $500, 

 which is the only liability of the As- 

 sociation. 



By addressing the secretary a dupli- 

 cate of any adjustment of loss can be 

 obtained by any member of the Asso- 

 ciation at any time. 



In these days of insurance investiga- 

 tion it might be well to mention that 

 the F. H. A. has never paid a cent for 

 oiBce rent, fuel or light, and that the 

 officials of the Association are both 

 ready and willing at any time to give 

 an account ot their stewardship. 



JOHN G. ESLER, 

 Secretary.

the Capital, write us, we can save you money
