 This 10th day of April 1907.
 The above. coming as 1t did, unsolicited. Is very much appre- eiated. However, this Is only one of our many losses and all have been promptly and satisfac- torialy paid. We wish to say here to the insuring public that owing to recent passage of the Lee Browning law that we will be even better prepared in the future than in the past to handle the insurance business and will continue to handle only the very best. It will be to your interests to see us before insuring.
 The public should bear in mind wher taking insurance that they should know what they are get ting as the passage Of tile Lee Browning bill does not make companies good, but gives chance to have more good com- panieS in the state and the large number of cheap companies will try to use this to secure the con- fidence of the people. Therefore take your insurance with some established and reliable agency. We are yours for good insurance.
