We have also furnished these agents with certain types of bonds already executed by an officer of the Company, upon which a power of attorney is not necessary, and I am referring particularly to Class. Band C Beer Bonds. Notary Bonds and Cigarette Bonds. No power of at- torney is necessary for any of these bouds that are issued by Sanner & Hogan for the reason that these bonds have been signed by an of- ficer of the Company at our Home Office, and it is only necessary that they countersign the bonds in order to comply with the countersignature law of the State of Iowa. This coun- tersignature, of course, has no bear- ing upon the validity of the bond. It merely complies with the rules of the State Insurance Department. ,,ve sincerely trust that this is the information that you desire, and that you will approve of any bonds executed by Sanner & Hogan where- in their power of attorney is being used, limited, of course, only to the bonds mentioned in the power of attorney itself, Respectfully, , "' ! t): il ;'1' ~,~ , 5; ~ I b r \ ~i '.':' 1,:-.
