Grummett that his confpany, the Juneau Insurance Company, with offices in the Gold- stem Building, has received ap- pointment as local agent for two recognized insurance companies which are making their entry into the Alaskan field. qolh memberg of the widely known “Loyalty Group,” are the Firemen's Insurance Company of Newark, New Jersey, and the Metro- politan Casualty Insurance Com- pany of New York.
