Is the dryest kind oG reaGiug-,o those

then there is the fond practice Of exaE-

death ofan infant, telling what a Won

not object TO these things if they can Ice

with that treatment it so richly deserves.

SECOND STORY.

We are the authorized agents Of several
of the most reliable insurance companies in
the United States. We have embarked in
the insurance business determined to stay
with you and ask fair share Of your busi-
ness. We want first class risks and none
others, and will write small lines on strictly

less than have been asked during the last
two or three years.
Our rule is to write risk for what it is
worth, and having no assessments to pay to
the National Board we can insure your
property at less rates than those companies
paying large yearly dues for having rates
made for them. Our companies have each
large net surplus over all liabilities, and
during the past years have steadily made
money, their percentage Of loss being in ev-
cry instance far less than that Of the most
popular Board Companies. We invite the
closest scrutiny Of the Companies we repre-
sent and are anxious tc compare their
standing and ability with any company
represented in Red Wing, and We can prove
to any fair minded man that their policies
are indemnity in any scnse Of the term
