THE OREGON FIRE RELIEF ASSOCIA TION was organized in McMinnville, Oregon, 26 y e a n ago, fo r the purpose o f insuring the property o f its mernbeA at c o s t In this 26 years the Association has saved its members approxim ately 40 per cent. No Are traps a n insured; no policy is issued fo r over 64*000.00 on any one piece o f property; no merchan dise stocks, stores, garages, factories, etc.,, a « a c cepted. Every house insured in this association must be in good condition and in a locality w h en the fin risk is not great! These a n the reasons why this as sociation is able to save its policy holders approxim ate ly 40 per cen t KasS ml ■ xv. in T THE FOLLOWING FACTS SHOW THE CONDITION O P THE ASSOCIATION , 1. The Association has. oyer 40,000 custom ers in Oregon. 2. The Association has over 60,000 policies in force in Oregon. 3. These policies cover property fo r m o n than $47,000,000.00 insurance. 4. The Association has conducted a ------ fu l business fo r over 26 years and paid every loss. 6. The Association has over 700 customers in Coos county already. The State Insurance Commissioner says: “ A s the strength o f a financial institution is measured by com parison o f its surplus and assets* it is apparent that THE OREGON FIRE RELIEF ASSOCIATION occupies an enviable position, as its surplus is m on than 60 par cent o f its total sheets. I f you will ex amine other insurance corporations you will find few which can show the same relative strength. The com pany has an excellent reputation for promptness in tne settlement o f its losses, and it must necessarily be fair or it could not continue to hold the patronage o f its members.” • • *’• " , ‘ ' • tT Although a mutual company, THE OREGON FIRE RELIEF ASSOCIATION issues a policy which is absolutely non-assessable. Its policy holders a n NOT liable to be assessed to pay the losses o f other members o f the Association. Under the Oregon law, “ A mutual company with $200,000.00 o f assets and a surplus o f over $100,000.00 created through the opera tion o f its business, may issue policies which a n non assessable.” THE OREGON FIRE RÉLIEF ASSO CIATION has over $400,000.00 assets, and a surplus o f over $160,000.00. T h en is no record o f any mutual company ever having failed that had accumulated In the course o f its business a net surplus o f over $60,- 000.00.
