FARM INSURANCE.
Farmers Warned to be on the Lookout for
Misrepresentation Home
Fire in the Field.
To the Farmers of Utah:

To the Farmers of Utah:
Heber ]. Grant s. Co. ask you to read
the following statement of facts:
About October l. 1891, we decided to
write farm business in Utah. AS this bus
mess was conducted by solicitors, our
president, MIR. Heber j. Grant, issued cir
cular letter over his signature, to be used
by solicitors as their authority to act for
US In securing business.
We regret to say that a number of these
| letters fell into the hands of unscrupulous
solicitors, who showed our circular letter of
authority, and after securing business in
this way and making many misrepresenta-
tons TO obtain the business, then turned it
over to other companies with which we
had no connection. a great many of our
friends have corresponded with US relative
to these parties, making complaints regard
ing the way they were deceived and asking
| relief from US, but as they had made ap-
plications and signed notes for insurance
with companies not represented by US, it
was simply impossible for US to do any
thing in the matter. We regret very much
that this has happened, and in order to pro-
tect our friends and the general public
against any further cause for COM
plant or chances of being yictimized
we are pleased to state that the Home
Fire Insurance company of Utah has de-
cided to write farm insurance and from
| this time forth we feel confident that we
can protect the interests of our patrons
| If the farmers will see that their applica-
! tions, the notes they sign and their policies
when received, all read Home Fire Insur-
ance Company of Utah" they can protect
themselves against impostors, and when
they have done this should anyone repre-
senting US make misstatement of facts,
and they will SO notify US, we will see that
| theV are amply protected.
We have resident agents in most of the
| towns in Utah with whom you can place
| your insurance at any time. We will also
send few reliable and trustworthy solicit
| tors through the territory, who may call
upon you, and any business entrusted with
them will be protected by US and your
| interests carefully guarded.
Unless the farmers exercise great care in
| this matter and assure themselves with
| whom they are placing their orders it
! leaves us powerless to render them any
protection in cases of Misrepresentation
They cannot be too cautious in dealing with
| people they do not know. Again we eau
ton you and ask you that you place your
insurance with the Home Fire Insurance
company of Utah, thereby assuring your
selves that you are dealing With your
friends and those who will protect your in
terests in every particular.
The directors of the Home Fire of
! u IAN are as IolloWS: heDer d. Grant I,
