Insurance law ruling voids foreign policies in Indiana
The Indiana Supreme Court holds that a policy issued by a company based in another state is void in Indiana unless the company complies with Indiana law of June 17 1852. Violations incur heavy fines for agents. Illinois firms doing business in Indiana are deemed invalid under the law. Readers are cautioned to deal only with sound, responsible insurers at home or near their doors. The notice also mentions editor remarks about Judge Cotton and a mockery of small criticisms. Indiana Sanitary Commission receipts and the Atlantic Monthly mention are noted with brief details.
