"The Hand in Hand, originally known as the Amicable Contributionship for the Insurance of Houses against Fire, was born in a coffee house in London, way back in the reign of William III. At the time, there were only two other fire insurance companies in existence. Within thirty years these two companies had been liquidated, leaving the Hand in Hand as the oldest fire insurance office in the world. This book tells the story of the company, and the people who ran." FINE HARDCOVER, FINE DUST JACKET. Size: 4to - over 9¾" - 12" tall. Seller Inventory # 020539
