TEXTThe real estate and insurance business in all large and important cities is regarded as one of the most important elements of industry, especially by property-holders and capitalists seeking judicious and good investments, and it is safe to say that there is no branch of the community that the insurance business does not interest and concern, either in guarding against loss by fire or death. One of the oldest reliable firms in these branches in Newark was founded so far back as 1845, now over a period of thirty-seven years, by Messrs. King & Bond. They began business when the population of Newark was only 25,000, and have held their ground and maintained their reliability for high standing and integrity and grown up with the progress of the city to its present growth of 139,000 souls. The elegant business office of the firm is on the ground floor of the building in which it is located and is 18x60 feet, fitted up in the most business-like style, which at once bespeaks its character. Every branch of real estate agency - fire insurance, loans of money, and conveyancing - is transacted, and acknowledgments are taken for nearly all the States. In the fire insurance branch of the business the following reliable and solid companies are represented and risks effected on every kind of property and buildings, etc.: Continental, of New York; Franklin Insurance Company, of Philadelphia; National Insurance Company, of Hartford, Conn.; Hartford Insurance Company, of Hartford, Conn., while policies are procured in other home companies. The business was originally founded by the father and brother of the present firm of King & Bond, Mr. King being now in his seventy-second year and one of the oldest citizens of Newark. He was Freeholder in the time of the late war, and issued the bonds of the Finance Committee for the county debt. Mr. Bond, the father of the present junior partner, died in 1878, when his son, Edgar E. Bond, took his place and a leading, active part in the business. He is a young gentleman of great executive abilities, and is following in the footsteps of his late esteemed father. The firm members are Aaron M. King, a native of Essex County, who has been attached to the business for the last twenty-six years, and Edgar E. Bond, a native of Newark. The city has no more energetic or reliable firm in any branch of its industries or agency than that of King & Bond.
