PRINCIPAL OFFICE AT ALTON, ILL. 

 This Cbmpany was chartered in 1S89, and Insures, at a 

 moderate cost, almost every species of property in Illinois

 ranged that each class of property insured will support its own 

 loss. 



Every one insured becomes a member— the Company be- 

 ing an association of customers — each of whom Is concerned in 

 insuring his neigtibor. The capital augments in exact ratio 



wilh the incrense of risks; the security for which remains in 



the hands of the insured; therefore, every member is the trea- 

 surer Of his own money until the same is required for tlie pur- 

 pose of paying losses.
