"HONEsTY IS THE BEST POLICY"

1t pays us to promptly pay all hon
est claims, and it is our duty to
resist dishonest claims. A COM
pany having a large clientage can-
not afford to be technical or small.
Acouaint me with all the facts necessa-

risk incurred, just if you were going to
assume the risk as an individual. We
don't want fictitious values in fire insur-
ance, nor do we want premiums on nc

dealing that will stand the the most rigid
investigation from all parties interested.
NV rates and companies are those OF the
Southeastern Tariff association and no
better fire insurance can be obtained on
this earth. L. GEO. GRlST, Agent.
