The First National Bank of Williston
hangs up neat sign to the effect that
they are protected by policy in the
Bankers Mutual Casualty Company. This
refers to an insurance policy issued by
the Company to the Bank, indemnifying
it from loss that may be caused by
burglary or robbery Of the bank, and
secures the bank and its patrons from
the danger Of loss from that score. The
Company issuing the policy pays the
loss occasioned and in addition to this,
money protection. the Company has an
efficient detective service which Is at
once put on the track OF criminal who
inteferes with any bank holding policy
in this company, and bringing the burg
lar or robber to bay and trial regardless
OF the time or effort required. Punish
ment is sure tn overtake any persons
who attacks the bank in the way OF
burglary or robbery. The patrons of
the bank can readily see the great merit
of such protection.
