This Company will not take + fire risk on anything else. I will agree witl you, agents of othercompanies claim they write on nothing else, but the local agent for the same Co. in yorr county seat will write on stores and stocks of goods, and many of them on any class of hazard offered.

Clark, now of Ft.Scott, Kas., and I were the principle workers in tack- ing its plates above your doors. It is a nice company and has paid many losses in our midst. It, too, hasafarm department. They have selected a man and he has got others to help him renew the old werk; hence you have to chose not only between astranger and me, who has followed the business in your county for twelve or fifteen years, but between a compact or union company and a company that belongs to no rings, pools or clicks. These strangers will tell youthe Dwelling House has very little surplus, but they will not tell you the Company has done Nineteen Million new business in two years, and almost all three or five years’ risks, requiring a heavy change from cash surplus to reinsurance reserve, though this is true. It is like farming: if you lay out one thousand dollars for stock, the thousand dollars is gone, but you have the stock in its place. Ask the agent to compare ratio of losses sustained by the companies, then take your choice. If you have any policies running out or want to take out insurance, you will save money and time a by seeing an agent of the Dwelling House In- 3 surance Co. before chosing, as its policies are £ written here and endorsements are made here, without sending off your policy to another state or the company’s home office. I carry the poli- cies with me when canvassing and deliver you the policy when you sign the papers, and poli- - cies are always ready for delivery within a few day: Tr application to any of our agents. No application or note goes into the mail until policy is issued. ‘hey write against fire, ii ng and tornado combined or singly. They also write against lightning on stock any where, without requiring you to ‘‘agree to divide the total amount insured by three-fourths the number of animals owned at time of loss.’” They also write special risks on stallions, jacks and fancy stock. Don’t let any one write your insurance until you have got rates of an agent of the Dwelling House InsuranceCo. We want your business and you will want us to get it when you are posted.
