The steady upward, onward, grand march
of the old Tennessee Marine and Fsre Irsuramee
Company Of Nashville, is a positive, conspicu-
Gus fact, a noble reward to conservative and
legitimate underwriting. This company
was organized for permanent success, to.be-
stow first-class Fire Insurance, at proper
rates, to the people of Tennessee, on o COM
prehensive plan, and its position to-day
with the public leaves nothing to conjec-
ture. 1t has fought fire vigorously, persist
emily, skillfully, and from every battle field
wrcaths of victory have been plncked. The
popularity which this company enjoys, and
the reputation which attaches to its name,
is something worth years of constant devo-
ton to duty to acquire, and few there are
who ever do secure the prize. Call at JOSH.
