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. 1t 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
cur agency and then write
your policy in 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.
