Will Double the Volume of Business this Year. If we continue to write business for the balance of the year, being only two months, at the same rate per month tliat we have written since the removal of the company to this city, we will double the volume of business on our books. The company was three years old the 1st day of last March so it will mean that we have put as much busi ness on the books this last year as the company had put on the books in the three years previously. A very small per cent of this business has been written in North Platte the bulk of the North Platte business being pfit on the books prior to the company's removal to , this city. Consequently, it means that a large part'of this business has come to North Platte from outside territory, tjhat North Platte would never have seen or heard of if the Fidelity Reserve Company was not located here. We have agencies located in Grand Island, Hastings, Kearndy, Lex ington, Broken Bow, Sidney, Scptts Bluff, Alliance, Mc Cook, Superior and many other places in the state. When we can go out in the state and compete with all fjie numerous .companies doing business in the state and get the business; when we have absolutely nothing to offer to these parties outside except insurance, we are certainly entitled to first consideration by the people of North Platte and vicinity. We issue all forms of life, health and acci dent insurance- We issue life policies alone or in com bination with health and accident features. We will be glad to have you compare our rates and values with any other old line rates or values. We are right here to settle' your claims, and can give you service you cannot get froni any other company See us first. Fidelity Reserve Company. CITY AND COUNTY NEWS. Joseph B.
