ance Company does not pay the losses of its
mbers. He cites which happened May 81.
The facts in the case are as follows:
A few years g, an officer of Our company was
called upon to insure dwelling house. The officer
estimated the value of the house at $3o0O00 Attic
time our company could write only 81 100000 insur-
ance one building officer allowed the
choose. his the man did and our president receiv-
ed notice from the stock company which wrote the
insurance that policy of ST O0o0 90 had been issued.
At the expiration Of three years when the stock
pany policy expired new policy taken in the
same company for ST. $4,000 without permission from
our company and Without our company being notified
destroyed by fire. The man, of course, claimed
$1,000. 90 from company, but the directors did
surance SO thew allowed him ssoo6o on his house and
he accepted and was paid. Now fellow farmers, was
not this square deal? Has this impairment stock
company agent any reason to knock our company
The same agent also claims that it costs more to
insure company than in the he represents.
Below is given statement showing the cost Of
insurance in our company since its organization Il
years ago:
