ctata recognize the necessity for insurance and second, that they have the
money to pay for it. And there can be no question but that people with the
Less eense indicated by these facts, could and would -see the wisdom of keep-
lg that money in their own territory given in legitimate business with sound,

ANOTHER thing, since the changes in our foreign relations brought about by.
the war, there is immediate need for more insurance companies. A vast
amount of our insurance business, handled by American companies, was
protected by re-insurance contracts with European financiers. Of these, Ger
mans, Austrians and Bulgarians handled a great share. That being now impossi
ble, new American capital MUST go into the handling of even larger demands for
insurance.
A great home company has been organized, to keep this
vasti sum in Nebraska. YOU are invited to join us

No Promotion Stock
Not a dollar's worth of "promotion stock." Every share sold will be capital stock' and
surplus and not a share will be sold for less than $100 per share. And whether a man owns
one share or fifty will make no difference he will have his voice in our counsels will share
justly in our profits.
It is a wonderful opportunity. Other home insurance companies have been splendidly
backed by our public. This great, new company has been formed at the opportune moment
ready to take up the handling of Nebraska's tremendous volume of fire and automobile
insurance. It has met every requirement placed upon it by the state government. There
has been no finer investment opportunity ev,er offered the public. And the offer is made
straight to YOU!

Some Similar Opportunities and Their Wonderful Histories:
To illustrate the possibilities In an otter such as this, we quote from the pages of American financial history. The names are those of nationally known organizations.
And a little study of the figures at which their stock was originally bought, in comparison with today's values, will carry to you its own message. Our plan is not a new one.
Successes in American business hare almost without exception been built on co-operation; the public ownership through stock holdings of the business capital. Companies
originally formed with' but few stockholders hare sooner or later come to the understanding of their need for public co-operation. These things are not theoretical. They are history!
