The Atlas has a paid-up capital of $1,320,000, a net surplus of $5,065,940, and total assets as of December 31, 1915, of $22,319,923. These resources, apart from life insurance funds, are available for any requirement that might arise in this country. When the Company first entered the United States it started business on the Pacific Coast, took out its Massachusetts license four years later, and not till five years after that did it receive admission to New York. The headquarters of the New York Branch is at 100 William street, Frank Lock being the manager. The operations of the American department have been profitable, the loss ratio has been normal, and the cost of management kept to a minimum. It is in high repute throughout the country for its satisfactory handling of losses. At the close of last year the resources of the American department were as follows, the accompanying figures for the same items in 1915 serving to show the progress the Branch made during the year: Admitted assets, 1916, $3,270,655-1915, $3,082,720; unearned premium reserve, 1916, $1,821,715 -1915, $1,714,138; surplus over all liabilities, 1916, $1,239,137-1915, $1,176,426; amount at risk, 1916, $357,468,756-1915, $331,909,994; net premium income for 1916, $1,936,126-for 1915, $1,776,877; gross income for 1916, $2,059,389-for 1915, $1,912,161; ratio for 1916 of losses incurred to premiums 49.7-for 1915, 56.3; expense ratio for 1916, 40.6-for 1915, 43.1. The strength of these figures indicates how ably the affairs of the American department have been conducted. In the Pacific Coast States the Company issues policies entitled "Atlas Assurance Company, Limited, with which is incorporated the Manchester Assurance Company." Manager Frank Lock was born on the Isle of Wight, England, January 10, 1855, and has been engaged in fire insurance from boyhood. He was in the home office of the Commercial Union for eleven
