Friend Stef: I meant to write
you for several months in order to
give your readers the details of the
experience I had with the Flaxton
Farmers Mutual Fire Insurance Co:
of Flaxton. after my home and its
entire contents were destroyed by
fire in July, 1918. but for some
cause or other have been putting it
off. After the fire took place l
could vaguely remember that. the
property was insured in the Flaxton
company by A. e. Stutsman, from
whom 1 purchased the place, and
that the policy was assigned to me
al the time I bought the place, but
l had so much on my mind at that
time that I was not absolutely sure
about the policy. After the fire I
drove up to see the secretary Of the
company, but he assured me that
the Flaxton company had issued no
policy on my home which was in
force at the time of the fire. This
did not sati. fy me, as I was quite
sure that the property was protect
ed by policy, but 1 had no way to
prove it as all my papers were de-
stroyed in the'fire. Last fall was
notified by E. j. Marks, the new
secretary of the company, that he
had found a complete record of my
policy. and that same did not expire
until Sect. Is, 1920, and that he,
as we'll as all the officers of the
company would do everything in
their power to assist me III collect
ing every cent that the policy called
for, as l had suffered a total loss.
The proper affidavits were made
out Immediately. and in a very
short time I received a check for
$3.50, the amount the property was
insured for.
I want your readers to know that
feel very thankful to the officers
of the Flaxton company, and espe-
cially Secretary e. j. Marks for the
manner in which my loss was look
ed after when it was found that my
property had been insured. For
some months l had given up entire
hope of collecting anything, and if
the officers of the company desired
to evade paying for my loss they
could have easily done so. Their
actions in my instance show that
they want to be absolutely fair in
every instance, and will even go
out of their way in order to give
policy holder instructions and ad-
vice on how to make a collection
after his policy has been destroyed.
I shall always remember the treat
ment l received at this time, and il
all farmers felt the same way
toward this company as I do now,
there would be very little farm in
surance written by any other firm.
I am simply writing this to show
my appreciation, and also to let my
friends know that there is at least
one insurance company that has
heart. and is always working for
the mutual benefit of all its policy
holders. I was practically a strang-
err here at the time Of the fire, and
it was not influence that gave me
something others were not getting.
