We call your attention to the
item of losses paid Of SEVEN
MILLION DOLLARS, which is .
vast sum, yet it was paid without
the sacrife of the company's Sc
curities. On the contrary, cash
assets show an increase Of over
one million dollars, while the net
surplus has also increased nearly
one hundred thous and dollars.
We represent other large COM
panies equally as we'll backed
financially, such as the

ton; home Office, Wheeling, VIVA.

Under the Insurance rules and
regulations in force in this city
every policy has to be approved
by the Stamping Secretary, so it's
impossible to get a policy unless
all the rules and rates are follow
ed out. In other words, every In
surance company charges the
same rates. It is then simply a
question of which is the best COM
pany, as all charge the same
rates. The above companies are
old established insurance cOmpan-
les, pay your losses promptly and
without any quibbling. Select
your company, and in choosing
any of the above named COM
panies you can make no mistake.
We can insure you in any Of the
companies above named. We do
not advertise big companies in
our agency and then write
your policy in a small, unknown
company. If you want insurance
in the big Hartford you can get it
from us. If you burn down or
are damaged by fire you can have
your insurance for the asking.
