The Farmers State
Mutual HailStorm
Insurance Co.
Mexico, Missouri
THIRD YEAR

On May fourth there was a
terrific hail-storm thru Audrain
county, doing immense damage
to wheat and fruit and other
things, entailing hundreds Of dol
lars in loss, which falls heavily
ON those who were unfortunate
enough to be in the path Of the
storm and had no hail insurance.
If people would form the habit
Of being insured against loss by
hail as well as by tornado, fire
and lightning, these losses would
be distributed amongst the many
and the losers would be REIN
bursed. No one need pay but a
small part for these large losses
and nobody would be badly hurt
financially.
This you should do at nee and
this is the way you do it. You
are to pay $500 for membership
and advertising. This is all that
will be needed until the losses
are to be paid in the fall. The
limit that anybody will pay then
is 5000 on the $4,000 of his in
surance.
If you take a sheet of paper
and write your address and r. F.
ID. and the section Of your land,
then say, I have SO many acres Of
wheat worth so much per acre, 50
many acres Of oats worth so
much per acre, so many acres Of
corn worth so much per acre, or
meadow or millet. 1.-THE company
will write from $500 to $500
per acre.)
Then sign your name carefully
so we can make it out, then adj
dress your letter to the above
company, put in two ($2.00l dol
lars. This will pay your member
ship and all the expenses.
On receipt Of your letter and
check the company win send you
a policy covering on your crop as
you have written it.
IF you have loss or damage by
hail, report il to the company.
}, II you take insurance now, you
are not liable for losses occuring
before you were insured.
