A Record Breaker.

The Western Hail Mutual Insurance
Company has broken all the loss pay
ing rec ,rds and has made the smallest
assessment of any company fer the
1900. This Company paid all the loss
es within thirty days after sending

the front ranks and entities it to the
confidence of the best agents and a
large share of the Hail Business.
We closed the year 1900 without an
unpaid loss or loss in litigation, which
