NO ASSESSMENTS
The Washington County Mutual Insurance
Company commenced doing business on their
present improved system on the 18th day OF May
1915, and their success is without a 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 New York and
Vermont, 10 the amount Of over seven and hall
millions of dollars, have made no assessments, q
had at the date OF the last report, balance in IA
vor of the Company, (May 10, l847) OF S7,99l.
II. The increasing business and increasing cash
fund warrants the belief that no tax upon their
Premium Notes will be necessary for long term
oil years if ever andthe Directors assure the pub
lie that all losses will be settled with promptnesS
and Observation-Disclosures for all losses in the
Counties OF Franklin, Lamoile, Grand Isle and
Chittenden will be made, if desired, through Ell
iher of the Banks of Burlington, ST. Adams or
Poultney. Counties of Addison, Windsor, Rut
and and Bennington through either of the Banks
orMddle5ury, Black River, Rutland, Manches-
Ter or Poultney.
The office and place of doing business is al
Granville, n. Y near the Vermont line, adloin-
ing the towns Pawlet and Wells, in Rutland
County, South west of the town of Rutland a.
bout twenty five miles, miles from the Bank of
Poultney, and on the stage road from Burlington,
VI, 10 Troy, n. Y; on which there is daily
nail
This Company addresses itself particularly 10
the TURNER'S OF The country, being designed for
heir 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, il ever, on account OF the large and
Increasing fund now in the treasury TO 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
i is considered hazardous, it is believed BY those
acquainted with their principles and method OF
oing business, that it offers the greatest induce
nents 10 the country generally tojoin them, ofany
