Keeping Money At Home The New Regime Of Insurance Houses
Local insurance man Lynn B. Martindale argues that Western cities are awakening to wealth from premiums as Hartford and New York grew rich on insurance, urging Indianapolis to keep capital at home. He notes Western firms now fund their own growth, while New York’s law kept state loans in place, shaping national finance. He discusses May business at American Central Life and contrasts policies as investments versus pure coverage, explaining endowments, whole-life, and surrender values.
