THE Undersigned has been duly appointed an
i Agent Of the Protection Insurance Compa-
ny Of Hartford. Conn.,, at Iowa City, Iowa, and
is authorized to insure dwelling houses, stores
and ware houses, mills, manufactures. barns.
stables and the contents of each, together with
every other similar species Of property against
loss or damage by fire. The rates Of premium
offered are as low as those of any other similar
institution, and every man has an opportunity,
for trifling sum, to protect himself against the
rayages of this destructive element, which often,
in single hour sweeps away the earnings Of
many years.
There are two situations, in either of which
the value of Fire Insurance can be adequately
appreciated, viz: While standing upon the ruins
of persons own property, receiving from the
Insurance office the full amour. which he has
lost; or standing upon the same spot surrounded,
perhaps, BY a destitute family, lamenting that
stupidity and folly which failed to provide
against such contingency.
