History.— This   company   was   incorporated

under

the

War Savings stamps.   The mortgage loans are on farm

the Oklahoma_ Retailers' Association. Its authorized capital is $250,000. of which $50.000 was paid in when the company began business Its stock ($10 par value) was sold at $20 per share. $5 of which was used for organization expenses.

In July. 1912, the company was completely reorganized and new officers elected. The officers connected with the company during its promotion period were eliminated and all stock-selling contracts canceled. All stock disposed of in the fixture will be sold by the company.

During 1914 the paid-in capital was increased to $50,-800. During 1915 the paid-in capital was increased to $79230. and $17,475 was added to surplus account. In 1916 the capital was increased to $121,200. and $22,741.67 surplus was collected. During 1917 the capital was reduced to $104.560 by the cancellation of $16.640 of the capital stock, the company exchanging therefor certain securities which it considered not altogether desirable to retain. It states that this transaction reduced the surplus $11.145. In 1918, the capital was increased to $104.790.

Management and Reputation.— The company has grown steadily, and its business in recent years has been profitable. It has a board of directors and an advisory board consisting of prominent merchants of the State of Oklahoma, and is. we are advised, the official fire insurance company of the Kansas Retailers Association.

The business of the company comes principally from the better class of merchants and their friends, and so far the loss ratio each year has been very low. Most of the business consists of insurance on brick buildings, stocks of goods in brick buildings, and the better class of dwelling houses.

On December 31, 1919, the directors owned $45.850, par value. of the capital stock then outstanding.

Territory.— Its operations are confined to Oklahoma, Nebraska and Kansas.
