BETTER Be SURE
THAN SORRY :?

Your property may take fire in any
oneof a hundred different ways-through
your own carelessness or that of the SER
wants or children, by the explosion of a
lamp or other accident, spark from q
chimney or defective fue, a stoke
of lightning, spontaneous combustion
Your property may be fired by some in
sane or vicious person, some discharged
and worthless farm hand, who takes
this means of getting even" with you
by subjecting you and your family to
loss.
If you are insured, the knowledge Of
the fact on the part of such man will
tend to prevent him from destroying
YOUR property. He will know that he
cannot ruin you, that the Insurance
Company will stand between you and
loss.
Let it be known that you are insured,
