| TEXT | While likely to bj ignored in summing up the commercial or manufacturing resources and advantages of a community, the insurance business has yet so vital a bearing on all these as to make it fully entitled to consideration in this work. Prosecuting an enterprise in this direction is the popular house of Mr. W. K. Schenk, No. 1591 Broadway, who has been actively engaged in this enterprise for the last eighteen years. The fire insurance of New York city is one of its most important interests, and in its detail and successful management is in vested a vast capital, affording protection to property that could not possibly be secured by any other means. It proves to be one of the greatest encouragements to the city's advancement and improvement, and capitalists are able to invest their money in the erection of large and expensive buildings, and merchants can purchase very extensive stocks of merchandise with a feeling of security that a conflagration would not sweep their investments entirely beyond their grasp. "Mr. Schenk represents the following substantial companies, viz., German American Insurance Co. of New York, London and Lancashire Fire Insurance Co. of Liverpool, Mechanics' Fire Insurance Co. of Brooklyn, which for reliability and soundness are Unsurpassed in the world. By the careful and prompt manner in which his business is conducted this house has kept pace with the growth of the trade of the city, until now its operations are widely extended and its reputation firmly established. Mr. Schenk pays all losses Promptly and without litigation, always discharging the important trusts committed to him with great fidelity and to the complete satisfaction of all. He has constantly taken great interest in military matters, and was orderly for three years. He assisted in putting down the Astor Place riots, and is a veteran of the Seventh Regiment, having joined that honorable battalion in 1842. Personally he lias made hosts of friends, in consequence of his kind and courteous manners and strict integrity, and justly merits the success he has attained in insurance affairs. |
