Iowa Druggists form Mutual Insurance Association
The Iowa Druggists organized a Mutual Insurance Association at the state convention last week. A $250,000 application is needed before the state will authorize business. Promoter Al Falkenhainer aims to file within weeks. Officers include President W. F. Maher, Treasurer J. D. Lindsey, Secretary Al Falkenhainer, with directors from several cities. The plan mirrors a successful hardware dealers mutual, returns remaining funds to policyholders, and pays no officer salaries beyond required per diem. The piece also urges young Republicans to lead and unify the party for harmony.
