A Card to the Public.

In response to widely expressed senti-
ment, the undersigned sometime since organ
lied and Incorporated The Peoples Mutual
Fire Insurance Company of Hartford County
for the sole purpose of furnishing its patrons
reliable home insurance at minimum cost
The need for its organization at this time is
emphasized by the fact that the Hartford In
surance Company is substantially reducing
individual risks, thus increasing the demand
for home protection.
To organize mutual company is difficult
problem, because S1o0, 900 assets full mutual
premium .or premium notes. is required at
the beginning of business, and it is not posi-
BILE to write over 81 100000 of new business
ON a single day.
We recommend that owners of property
allow us to write their insurance to take ef-
feet thirty days after our published announce
ment that the same will be binding. This is
the regular method of organizing mutual
companies. An equivalent amount of exist
ing insurance can then be cancelled and the
premium rehated, costing the insured only
the difference between the full and short term
insurance at the time, and annually saving
thereafter an average of from 20 to so per
cent. on stock insurance.
1t is with you to say whether or not YOU
will make the organization effective and all
public spirited cStizens hereby urged to
render assistanSstp thls end.
