When a man covers his crop by hail
insurance he does it for protection.
Should loss come he wants to know he
will get his money without any delay
or trouble. Under the old line plan his
Insurance is an asset. No one wants 10
insure himself and others. vet this is
what you do in a Mutual Fire Insur-
ance company. Instead of having an
asset, when you enter a Mutual Hail
Insurance company you incur llabili-
ty which may be light or heavy. ac-
cording to circumstances. Should the
loss from hail be widespread among
your neighbors. your being insured in
a mutual company will make heavy
payments necessary. 1t is hard enough
to lose your crop. but it is worse to
have to pay heavy premiums on the
top Of ii.
A shrewd business man will protect
himself by policy in an old line COM
pany and not be led away by allurin-
promises of insurance costing little in
mutual hail companies. As long as
there are no losses it does cost little.
