RUGGLES WELLINGTON HAMMOND, Insurance Manager. Beginning as an insurance 
salesman with the Western Casualty Co. of Denver, Colo., in Vancouver, B.C., 
in 1908, Ruggles W. Hammond has since been identified with that corporation, 
both in the capacity of salesman and office manager. In 1913 he was appointed 
manager of the company’s office in Seattle, Wash., and in 1917 he came to 
Hawaii to open a branch office.
  The growth of the company’s business in the islands since 1917 has been 
remarkable. In 1918, Mr. Hammond’s second year in Honolulu, he wrote more 
accident and health insurance than any other company represented in the 
islands, and has since maintained his lead. In addition, branch offices have 
recently been established in Manila and Hong Kong.
  Born in Wakefield, Quebec, Canada, on Sept. 13, 1884, Mr. Hammond is the son 
of James and Mary Jane (Beatty) Hammond. He was educated in the public schools 
of Quebec. In 1917 he married Katherine McCluskey of Belleville, Arkansas, and 
they have three children, Ruggles, Jr., Caroline and Robert Hammond. Mr. 
Hammond is a Mason, Shriner and a member of the Commercial Club, Outrigger 
Canoe Club and the Chamber of Commerce.
