The Charter of this Company offers more favora-
bio advantages to the farmer and others, than any
other Company chartered in the State by insuriDg
with or without premium note. IL the applicant
prefer, he can pay the full amount OF the premium
in cas- b, or by ,trrting Il cash Insurance for two
wears. the insured saves eighth Of the amount
he would otherwise have TO pay: or by becoming u
member. and giyinga small premium note, the iu-
surcd saves nearly half Of the amount charged
by Stock Companies when insuring from year to
year. This IL the advantage resulting from the
combination of THE CASH AND MUTUAL
PRINCIPLE.
This Company commenced issuing Policies
against loss or damage by fire. on the 10th of
March, 1854. since which time over five thousand
seven hundred persons have insured and become
members of the Company. and over thirty thou
saud dollars have been paid for losses. Having
trehlcd our business during the past year, we feel
grateful for the liberal patronage bestowed upon
the Company thus far. and for It's fattcring pros
poets of future usefulness. The Directors hope
and believe, that. by prudence caution and rigid
system of economy. they will establish for this
Company reputation for cheapness and safety
not surpassed by any Company in the L. States.
All differences i'll settlement of losses, may he
determined by three disnterested arbtrators Of the
County where such loss happened, to be mutually
chosen by the insured and the Company.
