We call the attention of our RAIDERS
to the interesting account OF the WATER
Loo UNION MUTUAL AID ASSOCIATION.
This is the company which has been re-
ported as dofunct institution butf one
may judge by the payments recently made,
mentioned in another column, and ty the
growing list of we'll known name OF
sound, upright men, we should call i one
of the most fourlshing and reliable }sso'
Citations in the West. It cannot fail, Unless
the policy holders themselves refu$ to
pay their assessments and lose their poll
cies,-a most improbable proceeding.
The insured rather than host of officer,
rolling in luxury reap the benefits d the
plan. The Association is founded On the
principles of mutual aid, and it is notcleal
how any such institution could be more
reliable or cheaper. Every man oug lt tc
insure. 1t is q precaution which mere
common sense dictates. L. D. Bairl, one
of Austin's wide awake attorneys aid in
surance agents, represents the Association
in this part of the state, and he do IS not
hesitate to recommend it without reserve
to all who wish to insure in a living reli
able, cheap insurance company. CD and
see him, and learn its workings, even Il
you cannot, or do not care to, protect
your family by taking policy.
