 In the face of the records of such companies people will go on placing their insurance with them only to find in tie end they have gold brick" This com pany was organized ln 1908 and was operated on the mutual or assessment plan with no capital stock.
 
 We want to agaln impress upon YOU the necessity of insuring your property in Old Line Capi- tai Stock Companies. It costs you 10 more and in many in- stances less, So why not get good insurance.
