Now a man’s property may be in- sured against any contingency of loss, be that property what it may, includ- ing his cash deposited in banks. A charter has recently been issued by the state of Missouri authorizing the Bank Insurance & Indemnity Com- pany of Kansas City to transact a gen- eral insurance business. But the special object of the company is to insure the assets of banks in an amount sufficient to guarantee all de- positors that their money is absolutely secure. ae This company has solved the prob-_ lem in a perfectly simple and busi- ness-like way, namely, to provide against loss to the individual deposit- or by insuring the assets of the banks against loss of any and every nature in an amount equal to the deposits of each bank. More than six hundred banks have already expressed an in- terest in this company including a number in western Missouri. - Any one interested as a depositor can get the information as to what banks have avaifed themselves of this chance of absolutely protecting their depositors by writing to the Bank Insurance & Indemnity Company of Kansas City, Mo. This company’s form of policy has been approved by the Attorney Gen- eral of the United States. Its rates are based on actuarial figures com- piled by the leading actuary of this country. The plans of operation have been furnished by the most success- ful insurance and financial men in law, Mrs. John Daniels, at Hume, | this country and its management is Mo., Inst week. now inthe hands of the best talent obtainable. Its object is to make bank failures practically impossible and to make it absolutely impossible for a bank depositor to lose any money even though his money is on deposit ina bank that should meet Great companies have arisen in the past in response to demands for in- surance in almost every line and now this company has been formed for the purpose of granting a form of in- last Sunday.
