INSURANCE COMPANY OF NORTH AMERICA
150 Year Anniversary
On November 19, 1792. A group of entrepreneurs led by John Nesbitt and another gentleman appropriately named Ebenezer Hazard, met in Philadelphia's Independence Hall, to create the Insurance Company of North America.
INA wrote the first policy covering a ship and its cargo, in 1792. In 1794 they wrote the first life insurance policy, covering a sea captain.
When the great Chicago fire devastated that city in 1871, INA paid its claims in full. When five square miles of San Francisco were laid to ruins by the earthquake of 1906, INA was there. In 1920, INA expanded into the casualty insurance field and established the Indemnity
Insurance Company of North America. They openned for business with a capital of ,000,000.
In 1982, the Insurance Company of North America (INA), merged with the Connecticut General Life Insurance Company (CG) forming CIGNA. Before selling its property & casualty operation to the bermuda-based ACE Insurance company in 1999, CIGNA was among the companies with the largest international network in the league of Alliance, AIG and Zurich
INA celebrated their 150 year Anniversary in 1942. Part of their ad campaign for their anniversary was titled "America Came Through Safely". This referred to the first insurance policy INA ever issued, which was on December 15, 1792 for the cargo vessel America. This ad was run in the Saturday Evening Post as part of this campaign. It is in a black colored wood frame, with an outer deminson of approximately 15.0" X 11.75". The frame gives it a great presentation and somewhat of a sign look.
This would make an excellent addition for any collector of insurance company memorabilia, an agent/broker, or insurance company employee/retiree.
