TO FARMERS.

y
The Agricultural Insurance Company,
of Watertown, New York, was organized
and commenced business in March, 1853,
with a charter combining its risks entire
ly to farm property. The charter has
been amended so as to include private
residences in cities and villages, and
other property not more hazardous
The officers of the Company have never
allowed it to be diverted from this poll
cy. Many OF It's contemporaries of twen-
ty years ago, have been swept away by
the devastating fires in our large cities,
while, this Company by its system OF
isolation from business risks, has steadi-
~ pursued its prosperous course, win
ming its way to popularity and strength,
until it stands second to no Company
for permanence and safety. It, there
fore, confidentally appeals for patron
age to the farmer, whose occupation ex-
empts him from business hazards; to
those who have retired from business
and its uncertainties, and desire securi-
ty for their lifetime accumulation; and
~ thO OuotHCS6 WIZ hlSnG5 10 eA-
empt his home from the uncertainties
of trafEic-ofering each of them an in
surance in harmony with his desires
Prudent men often deed their homes to
their wives to preserve them from bust
ness calamity; legislatures pass exemp-
ton laws, and Congress homestead bills
to secure homes; and the Agricultural
Insurance Company was organized for
their future protection from a calamity
that no law or human foresight can
guard against. A Company doing a
general business may be a protection
under ordinary circumstances; still it
lacks that element of security and GER
tainty offered by Company doing only
an isolated residence business. This
Company is now admitted to be the
strongest Company in the World, in its
specially, and IFS history of over thirty
years is asufticient guarantee of the pro-
lection afforded by its policies.
