GENTLEIIEN:— our a cut, G. A.
Franke, havmg just han ed me a New
York draft for $368. 57, Iwish to publicly
hank you for your prOmptness and
square dealing. I am satisfied from
my experience with you that since I
was insured for-.five thousand dollars,
With weekly aCCident benefits of twent
dollars in 1889, that your company a -
ways will act for the best interests of
its pohcy holders.
_Your ready payment of my claim for
eighteen weeks and three days con-
firms my good opinion of you.
Wishing you the success that you so
well deserve, I remain
‘ Very truly yours,
( Signed) NO. W. BANKS.
Nnv HAVEN, CONN., Dec. 6th, 1890.
_ GENTLEMEN :—Letm e thank you most
gncerely for your promptness in pay-
ing me my claim of $1,000 on the policy
issued to my late husband, Isaac Watts.
I shall alwa s bless the day that he in-
sured his 11 e in your company. You
have done me a great favor by paying
the claim before it was due. My hus-
band had only paid in $97.76, and I
have received such great benefit.
. Yours very gratefully,
( Signed ) SARAH A. WATTS.
PROVIDENCE, R. 1., Jan. 24, 1891.
The Connecticut Indemnity Association:
Let me thank you for your prompt
and courteous treatment. Mr. W. A.
Armstrong, formerly of Norwich ,Conn.,
was insured in your company more
than Six years ago, and the entire cost
to him, at the age of 58, to carry $1,000
insurance, providing $5 per week in
case of disability, was only $101.75, or
$16.40 per year. ' Deducting the bene-
fits paid him during his life, the net
cost of his 81,000 insurance was. only
$11.75. This money will prove a great
help to .me. Had_he invested the same
money in. the savings bank, he would
_have realized nothing during his disa-
bility. and would have left me only
$113.16, instead of the $1,000 at death.
\ e _companies would have paid
but $303 insurance for the money paid
to your company by my husband.
( Signed) ELIZABETH ARMSTRONG.
DANDUEY,CONN., June 16, 1891.
I thank you most Sincerely for your.
.very prompt payment of the insurance
money due under policy 921,0n mylate

Edward A. W'right, Secretary of the
Connecticut Indemnity Association,
W'aterbury, Conn.
DEAR Sm : I hardly know how to en.
press my thanks to your company for
the great kindness shown me. My hus-
ban , Eddie McGuo, insured in your
company, April 24, 1891, for $1,000,
paying $13. 33. ,He died of typhoid-
pneumonia, July 19,- and tO-day, July
22; your general agent, Mr. Hastings
handed me your check for the full
amount of my claim. He made out all
papers for me, and kindly brought me
your check, thereby savin me much
trouble and annoyance. feel that
this promptness and attention on your
part should not be overlooked by me ;
therefore I shall be glad to do any-
thing in my power to let my friends
and others know how you do business.
I think the benefit of your insurance,
as shown in my case, should lead many
others to insure with you. Yours was
the only company in which my husband
was insured. Thanking you with all
my heart for what you have done for
me, I reénain tf ll
ours very respec u ,

methods of your company in paying
