Practical tests have shown /con-
look on re-roofing any longer as an

TITLE INSURANCE
NEED EXPLAINED

Title Insurance has been defined
as IAN agreement whereby the in
surer for a valuable consideration
agrees to indemnify the assured in a
specific amount against loss through
defects of title to real estate, where
in the latter has an interest either
as purchaser or otherwise"
1t is in no sense {. matter of guess
work, nor is it a gamble. Titles are
passed only after careful considera-
ton by trained examiners and no
responsible company will insure a
title which is patiently bad.
However, the examiner for the in
surance company can take into con-
sideration many things extraneous
to the record and can waive a great
number of the technical objections
which are properly raised by a care
full attorney in the majority of titles.
Title insurance offers unquestioedn
Title insurance offers unquestioned
security, as we'll as a great saving
of time in deals involving real estate,
and renders land and asset as easily
convertible as stocks or bonds. 1t
protects purchaser, mortagee, real
tor. lawyers-everyone interested in
the transaction, all at a small prem
ium payable only once. The opinion
and judgment of the lawyer are
backed by all the resources of a
responsible company.
The real estate man is benefited
by the gain in time and elimination
of the probability of loss of his COM

title. All have the assurance that
they cannot lose through any such

PLUMBING STORE
CASH-AND-CARRY

Many home owners have looked for
years for a store where they could
buy plumbing supplies on the same
basis as they buy groceries, but
many plumbers have refused to sell
supplies without installing them.
To meet this demand, w. F. Bryan,
proprietor Service Plumbing Com
pany, 1919 College Ave-, has estab-
lished a plumbing shop where prac-
tically all types of plumbing supplies
are available at reasonable, retail
prices. He maintains a complete
plumbing shop and is prepared to do
all types of plumbing work.
Bryan is an experienced plumber
and plumbing supply man. He has
studied the requirements of the
plumbing business for more than a
third of a century. In the establish
ment of his new shop, which was
opened Nov. 10, he has attempted to
incorporate some of the things that
a community needs in the nature of
plumbing service, he said.
"For years many persons who are
handy with tools, the handy man of
the house type of home owner, who
wanted to go into a store and buy a
faucet, for instance, has had diff
Guilty of finding a place where he
could obtain such thing, for the
average plumbing shop owner in
sisted on installing 1t, and if he sold
a faucet charged a price which was
approximately one-half Of the cost
Of installation" said Bryan.
I'VE have a new plumbing shop
program. We carry a large line of
goods and we invite persons to come
in, look over our elaborate display of
plumbing supplies, and we will sell
any type Of plumbing supplies. If it
is something that the plumbing code
requires q licensed plumber to in
stall, we will tell ,our customer and
he can get a plumber to install it and
pass the required plumbing inspec-
ton tests with it."
Bryan has an attractive shop. AS
sisted by his wife, he has arranged a
number of splendid window displays.
BRYAN is a member Of the Master
Plumbers Association, both national
and State divisions.
