B. L. Page, resident agent, has
in today's paper an advertisement
of the Equitable Life, one of the
strongest and most liberal compa-

it will pay you to inquire into
the plans of the Equitable.

agreed upon the value of the build
ing less the depreciatDga and the
companies will pay according to
their estimate. The full amount
of insurance upon the building
