"We Bond You"

PREVIOUS to ten or fifteen years
ago practically all States, Counties,
Cities and Towns, as well as the U. S.
government freely accepted personal
bonds from their officers and employees,
while today practically all require Cor
poration Surety. There is reason.
With a Corporation Bond, if the bond
ed person defaults, the liability is alb
solutely sure to be paid, while with the
individual bond very often it is not,
and sometimes when it is the signer or
signers Of the bond suffer serious fl
nancial loss. If YOU need Bond as
Administrator, Guardian, Executor, or
for any other purpose, do not ask your
friends to sign it, but BUY 1T FROM
US. Then you will be independent.
Very often men sign bonds who would
not think Of endorsing a note for the
same amount for the same person.
What's the difference? ~
We execute Bonds immediately-no
waiting. Call at our Office and get
