The Washington County Mutual Insurance
Conpanv commenced doing business on their
present improved system on the 18th day oil May
1915, and their success is without parallel IN
the history Of Mutual Insurance, having issued
nearly three times as many policies the second
year as they did the first. They have insured
property, mostly in the states OF Ncw-forE and
Vermont 10 the amount ofover seven and hall
millions Of dollars, have made no assessments, q
had IT the date of the last report balance in IA
yor Of the Company, (AIay 10, lSl7) OF sI,99l,
( L. The increasing business and increasing cash
fund warrants the belief thatpo tax upon their
Premium Notes will be necessary for long term
OF years ii ever, andlhe Directors assure the pub
lie that all losses will be settled with promptness
and liberality.- Renltancies for all losses in the
Counties oi Franklin, Lamoille, Grand Isle and
Chiltenden will be made, if desired, through Ell
tier of the Banks of Burlington, ST. Adams or
Poul.nev. Counties of Addison, Windsor, Rut-
and and Bennington through either OF the Banks
ofMiddle5ury, Black River Rutland, Manches-
Ter or PoultneY.

Granville, \. Y near the Vermont line, adjoin-
ing the towns Pawlet and Wells, in Rutland

POultnev, and on the stage road from Burlington,
W. 10 Troy, y. Y; on which there is daily
mail.
This COMPANY addresses iiselfparticularly TO
the Farmers OF the country, being designed for
their benefit. The very low price at which they
insure property, and the fact that No Assessments
have yet been made, and probably will not be for
many years, if ever, on account OF the large and
increasing fund now in the treasury 10 meet any
losses that may occur, and the peculiar caution
they adopt in the rejection of applications, on
property in large villages and other places where
il is considered hazardous, it is believed by those
acquainted with their principles and method OF
doing business that it offers the greatest induce
