When 23 lumbermen met on January 9, 1905, in Kansas City, Missouri,
to pool their resources to provide insurance protection for all
at the lowest possible cost, no one could have foretold, or even
imagined, the progress and growth Lumbermen's Underwriting Alliance
(LUA) would go on to achieve over the next ten decades.
The narrative and photographic history presented in this book has
been compiled from the archives of LUA. Reflecting on the decades
of success, the employees and subscribers of the Alliance can all
be proud of the impact this organization has had over the past 100
years on the Forest Products Industry. With traditional values of
being fair and honest balanced by the drive to offer innovative
coverages and services, LUA will continue to insure the future for
generations to come.
