Dowell, B. P. Pointer, j. L. Buck, w.
L. Terry, ]. N. King, J. T. Pointer, G.,
A. Johnson, Thos. Terry, J. W.Warren
and others too numerous to mention.
Mr.. J. w. Warren has over $4,000
with US. 1t only costs one dollar In
itiation fee and ten cents per hundred
dollars to insure with us for five
years. We have been in business
about seventeen months and haven't
had single loss yet. We only renew
every five years. There is never an
assessment unless there Is fire and
then with our amount of policies only
the small amount of about $1.0O on
the thousand dollars, and that goes
to help our neighbor in our own coun-
ty at home. Most of us would give
him that much, insurance or no IN
sura4ce. Our company Is the cheap
est and safest that ever was charter
ell or ever will be, as we only insure
farm property and don't insure city
or town property. So we kindly in
vite all farmers to call on our agent,
Mr.. H. R. Shipley, and insure with ue
and save money and pay your loss, II
any to your near neighbor Mt home
