American Surety Company of New York (1927)
—
This is a substantial code, 546 pages, tables beginning at p371. An earlier edition had appeared in 1922, same compiler, 319 pages.
100 Broadway, the head office of American Surety Company, was an immense and famous edifice, still there, still celebrated with its own wikipedia page.
What is a surety company?
“a surety, surety bond, or guaranty involves a promise by one party to assume responsibility for the debt obligation of a borrower if that borrower defaults... ¶ A surety most typically requires a guarantor when the ability of the primary obligor, or principal, to perform its obligations to the obligee (counterparty) under a contract is in question.”
wikipedia
I wonder about the importance of surety companies in these (uneasily) “United” States — an experimental country conceived and built by chancers, confidence men, desperados, drifters and grifters, missionaries and visionaries, snake oil salesmen, bridge salesmen, professors and projectors, surveyors and conveyancers ... But the business exists elsewhere and in many forms.
