This is q Home Company, gotten up
expressly in the interest Of the citizens
of Southern Maryland, to enable them
to overcome the difficulties they expe-
rienced in procuring Insurance in the
ordinary Insurance Companies, with a
majority of its Directors we'll known in
that community.
It has been IN business now over four
years. All losses accrued, and they have
been unusually large, haze been faithfully
aud promptly paid, which is our best
guarantee for the future.
The plan adopted is the safest and
cheapest known in Insurance, and af-
fords TO all Insurance at its exact cost,
and ought TO be encouraged by all who
wish 10 protect themselves against loss
or damage by fire.
If those interested will get it their
patronage aud interest themselves in
the increase of its business, in a few
years it will rank among the largest In
surance corporations in Maryland, a
credit and benefit to all, and an honor
to the State.
