you and conserved through the war measures of our Government. The prices are high,
the demand is great. Your Government insists that every one must produce and conserve
to the limit. This means more acres farmed, more cattle, hogs, sheep nnd more money
borrowed with which to operate. Therefore, your stock and crops must be protected
against loss. We arc ready and willing to assist you in every way possible with ADVICE,
INSTRUCTION and give any aid that WE CAN RENDER. Those LIVE STOCK, AUTO

known as HAIL, We are writing Hail Policies now that are effective after May 15th,
which covers you for the 1918 Hail Season.
