In presenting our claims to the people Of

caution them against the many counteriets
agents over the State for other purpose
than to swind,e every person who may be
credulous enough to do business with them.
The certificate Of the Secretary Of State at
ached below, shows that the Iowa Mutual IS
the
only legally Organized Company
in the State: aud the Code of Iowa declares
il is crime punishable by fine or imprison-
ment for any company TO do business IN Nio-
lation Of our laws; yet there are many pre-
teaded companies in our own State as well
as in other States. that are in direct violation
Of law, swindling the people of iowa cut Of
thousands of dollars annually with perfect
impunitv.
The ever-recnrring accidents of property
being destroyed by fire and lightning, often
sweeping away at one blow that which it has
tax en- many years of y lifetime TO accumulate
