JfAvING DONE BUSINESS For THE
y l. last four years with satisfaction to its
members, that perfect indemnity against
fire and lightning is sccnredto them, with
crtr 1000 members ard ST. cash asset. for
paying losses, and no claims against the Com
pany, with n rapidly increasing business, it
new offers the only chance for the PEOPLE Of
Iowa to insure in i safe aud responsible Com
pany ut home.
The company issues policies on farm proper
ty for five years for \ cash premium Of 81
upon oh Slm insured; three years Is cts
two years 81 cts; with $3.50 for policy and
survey f.e, without any premium note or
other obligation.
The Iowa Mutual is destined to become the
81 rongest and most reliable company in the
State. 1t already embraces among its men,
bers the best farmers and prominent business
men in the country.
AN losses ,oitt be equally adjusted and
promptly paid.
In presenting our claims to the people Of
Iowa, We deer II duty, at the anne time, to
caution them against the many connterfeits
ard wildcat companies that Gre sen ding out
agents over the State for no other parpose
than, TO swindle every person who may be
Gre lulous enough to do business withs them.
The certificate Of the Secretary of State at
nchsd below, shows that the Iowa Mutual is
only legally organized Company
in the State; and the Code Of Iowa declares
il is a crime punishable by fine or imprison-
meat for any company to do business in vio-
latiop Of our laws; yet there are many pre-
tended companies in our own State, MS well
as in OF her States. that are in direct violation
Of law, swindling the people Of Iowa cut Of
thousands Of dollars annually with perfect
impunity.
Tho evcr-recurring accidents of property
being destroyed by fire and lightning, often
eweeping away at one blow that which it has
taken many years Of a lifetime to accumulate,
rendering families homeless and homes des-
olats, should admonish every one to seek pro-
lection, especially when protection can ibe
obtained for a trifing sum-
