Insurance Company Documents: American Surety Company Bonds

American Surety Company first appeared here June 6, 2023.  Today is presented two performance bonds.

They are both courtesy of David Thompson who sent them to me awhile back.  The first is a Motorman's bond: 



And a Conductor's bond:  


Each of these bonds were used to bond the operators of street railroad cars in Chicago; each put money up front to help guarantee their safe operation of the cars since the conductor and motorman had their money at risk.  It is likely that the City of Chicago or the Chicago Union Tracation Company required operators to hold these bonds in order to be allowed to work.
