Colorado National Life Insurance Drives Local Investment
A 19th century feature highlights the Colorado National Life Insurance Company as a homegrown institution boosting Colorado savings. The piece cites a $35 million outflow to eastern insurers since 1882, with only a third returning to Colorado, and argues for keeping premiums and investments local to fund state growth and projects. It notes rapid local acceptance, with business leaders and citizens buying policies to support the home company, and predicts $5 to $6 million in Colorado business this year.
