EVERY wise man will have his prop
H erty insured. And he will not only have
it INSURED, but he will select a Company
in which he has full confidence that, if he
should suffer damage by Fire. his loss will be
promptly paid to the amount insured. There
are in the United Strtes, many honest and re-
sponsible companies, and there also are an in
finite number of worthless and irresponsible
Institutions, that OCCASIONALLY pay a loss
promptly. as a Lottery Manager will pay q
prize, for the purpose of emblazoning the fact
before the world, and thus obtain q foot-hold
that would enable them to perpetrate a more
extensive fraud. Property within the last few
years has been insured to the amount of mil
lions of dollars IN these worthless companies.
1t is important, then, when a man pays his
money for insurance upon his property, that
he be cautious in the selection of q Company
of well-established character and ability to
promptly meet its losses, whenever they occur
