only at Seattle, but all over the Terri

from our citizens. Why send money
which amounts to hundreds of thou
Sands per year, from this, to enrich
other States and countries, when for
the same rate you can procure a policy
from this home institution, which is
doing more in a financial way to build
up the country than are all the foreign
or outside companies now doing bust
ness within our Territory. The Sc

the stock lie held by men whose names
are guarantee that a policy in this
company is abs dilute safety.
