WYOMING. JONES CO.. IOWA
HAVING DONE BUSINESS FOR THE
L last four years with satisfaction to its
members, that perfect indemnify against
FIRE and lightning is secured to them, With
orer 1000 members and $4,000 cash assets for
paying losses, and no claims against the Com
pany, with rapidly increasing business, il
new offers the only chance for the eoplc Of
Iowa to insure in safe and responsible Com
parry Mt home.

ty for five years for cash premium OF 81
upon each Sle0 insured; three years Is cts.
Nc years 30 cts; with $3.50 for policy and
survey fee, without any premium note or

Tie Iowa Mutual is destined to become the
strongest ard most reliable company in the
State 1t already embraces among iis menu
hers the best farmers and prominc business
men in the country.
III losses piN be equally adjusted and
promptly paid.
In presenting our claims to the people Of
Iowa We dee il duty, at the anne time, TO
caution them against the many countcrfeits
and wildcat companies that are sending out
agents over the State for NJ other parpose
than to swinde every person who may be
crcdulous 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 oryani:ed Company
in the State; aud the Code Of Iowa declares
it is crime punishable by fine or imprison-
ment for any company to do business in vio-
lation Of our laws; yet there are many pre-
tended companies in our own State, a. we'll
as in other states, that are in direct violation
Of law, swindling the people of Iowa cut Of
thousands Of dollars annually with perfect
impunity.
The over-recurrng accidents Of property
being destroyed by fire and lightning, often
sweeping away at one blow that which it has
taken many years Of q lifetime to accumulate,
rendering families homeless and homes dcs-
olate should admonish every one to seek pro-
lection, especially when protection can be
obtained for triiiing sum.
