Company chartered in the State, by insuring
with or without premium note IL the applicant
prefer, he can pay the full amount OF the premium
in cash, or by cttccing IL cash insurance for two
years, the insured saves onc-elghta OF the amount
he would otherwise have to pay; or by becoming a
member, and giving small premium note, the in
sured saves uoary one-half Of the amount charged
by Stock Companies, when insurng from year to

combination Of the

March, 1854, since which time over seven thousand
seven hundred persons have insured and become

sand dollars have been paid for losses. Having
increased business during the past year, we feel
grateful! for the liberal patronage bestowed upon

system Of economy, they will establish for this
Company u reputation for cheapness and safety
not surpassed by any Company in the U. States.

determined by three disinerestcd arbrators Of the
