Farmers Insurance Co.

Everyone recognizes the desirability
of Fire Insurance, and in these days few
men of good business ability fail to pro.
tect themselves from loss on their prop.
erty by Fire Policy.
OF late years the growing frequency
with which CYCLONES and WIND.
STORMS visit the Western States, has
made Tornado Insurance almost az much
of necessity a. Fire Insurance, and in
some localities it is questionable whether
the danger of loss from Tornado and
Cyclones is not fully as great as from
Fire.
Many of the large loan companies
have recognized this fact by requiring
both kinds OF insurance as collateral
security for their loans.
By using extra care in the construc-
tion of your buildings, and by careful
watching, you may possibly avoid their
destruction by fire, but no. human ef-
forts will avail us against the coming of
the Tornado.
Can you afford to take the chances of
Loss from Tornadoes and Windstorms
when the additional outlay is so small ?
Why not be protected beyond the possi.
bility of loss from any cause?
Ask agent for rates.
