Special Correspondent of The
Evening Scnllncl.
(Copyright, 1923.)
NE“? YORK. l-‘cb. 11.—Out of tho
speculations of dishonest men. has
grown up one of the most important
and influential businesses in Am-
erica. The surety business, which
[was started to furnish protection
against dishonesty and breach bi
faith. in late years has grown by
leaps and bounds. This was em-
phasized by Albert ll. \Yiggin.
president of the Chase National
Bank in speaking at the celebration
of the :30”: anniversary of the start-
ing or the Fidelity and Dcpoelt Com-
pan)’.
“'hcn the company started. there
new only one or two concerns r-rt-
gagcd in the business and the Fidel-
iiy and Dcpomt had only two orn-
ploycs. Today it has a big staff here
with representatives in hundreds at
other cities and has Just Leen com
pclicd to seck larger quarters ovvinz
lo the increase in the amount of
surety business being placcd. There
are many other outstanding cou~
ccrns doing a strickiy surety busi~
ncss in the United States.
“Surety companies havc done
much in increase the safety of
modern business." Mr. “’iggin said.
“Unknown risks which individual
firms could not safciy assume are
pooled by these companies in such
a way as to make them definitely
inaiinhlo and safely bearable."
Thc surety companies of the l‘nit-
rd Statcs now have a capital of
$ll9.859.694 and assets of $1.3v’I-i..
133. 754. In the last ycar their net
premiums totaled $468.7(vfl,333. The
companies really bcczln oilcring
guaraniu: against dislloncstv of
public- oil'iciuls. Now. bonds issued

bonds for cmploycs ol' mercantile
and manufacturing concerns: for
bonds. contract bonds tor supplies.
paving. shipbuilding. dredging and
construction work; judicial bonds
for udlllinistrators. executors. trus-
tees and guardians, and bonds filed
in connection with litigation; and
depository bonds. in addition some
companies do u lhrgc Lin-glary busi-
ness issuing many residents and
lllcrt‘anllle policies and also handle
a largo l-rmkers‘ and cornmm‘cial
chock forgery protection business.
Many of the cox‘lipanics arc reprc-
