"At the annual meeting of the Queen Insurance Company to-day, at Liverpool, the Fire Premiums for the year were stated at £70,300, while those in the Life Department were £16,352. A dividend at the rate of 8 per cent, was declared." Post Magazine. — October 24. "The Queen Insurance Company affords a fine example of how much public confidence there is still in store for insurance companies, formed of a respectable body of proprietors, regulated in then" action by directors of high commercial position and business experience, and managed by gentlemen possessing the ability and zeal so warmly eulogised by the chairman, and applauded by those of the proprietors who were present a the recent meeting." Gore's Liverpool Advertif?" — October 22 "So general was the feeling of satisfaction entertained by the highly respectable body of proprietors who thronged the board-room of the Company at the result of the year's business, and so great was their confidence in the management ol the Company and in the correctness of the accounts presented to them, that the most eloquent agitator in the world must have tried in vain to have removed the one or shaken the other." Insurance Record. — October 23. " It was our pleasure and privilege to be present at the annual meeting of tne Queen Insurance Company. This company has made very rapid progress, and will unquestionably become one of the largest institutions in the kingdom. That it has succeeded in inspiring public confidence is evident by the large influx of new business in both the Life and Fire branches during the financial year which has just expired. The Directors' Report, which was received unanimously, was more than satisfactory. We had anticipated great things from the workings of the past year, but our most sanguine expectations were more than realised by the result presented in that statement. The Bonus to be declared is all that could be desired, and much more than might have been anticipated." Weekly Chronicle and Register. — October 24. " The state of affairs which the report discloses is eminently satisfactory, and the Directors may fairly be congratulated on the success of the Compan} r . A new plan for the allocation of the bonus has been introduced by the Directors, which cannot fail to become popular. They will grant separate free Policies for the amount of the reversionary bonus when required. This is a great advance upon the hitherto existing practice, for, under the ordinary system, the bonus is attached to the original policy, and stands or falls with it.' Gore's Liverpool Advertiser. — October 29. (Second Notice) " The Queen Insurance Company now stands before the public on one of the highest — we believe we may safely say the highest — pedestal ever occupied by an insurance company in the fifth year of its existence. The impression left on our mind by all that we heard and saw at last Wednesday's meeting was that the ' Queen' will go on largely extending its business in all its departments, until it shall acquire a position as a Fire and Life Office second to none in the kingdom." The Civil Service Gazette. — October 24. " The signally prosperous year that has just been passed by the Queen Insurance Company demands at our hands, as faithful journalists, one word 'by way of comment. This shows that the ' Queen,' in a remarkably short space of time, has won its way to public confidence. With the advantages of an irreproachable Board of Directors a Manager and Secretary who are untiring in their efforts to promote the prosperity of their undertaking, and an established reputation for promptitude and liberality in the settlement of their claims, we think we may safely argue a brilliant career in the future for this nourishing Company,"
