The Meaning Of Insurance is to In
demnify for Something That is Lost.
Are You Sure Your Company
Can Do This?

Is 1t not as essential to know
that the company promising this
indemnity is as sound and solvent
as a person signing a note or
other obligation?
A fire not only destroys your
property, but at the same time
throws you out of your home or
your business.
We never have lost company by
failure, in a business of twenty
years experience. Never had
company make an assessment.
Yet In past twenty years more
than half the companies allowed
to transact business in Maine
have failed or gone out Of bust
ness. Companies are dropping
out nearly every month.
Is 1t not for your interest,
financially, to get the best, when
their rates ere no higher than
the poorestp
Kindly ponder these inquiries,
