Although our stock has NOT been placed on sale, $300,000 has been subscribed up to
this writing. That amount, and the fact that it was subscribed without solicitation before
the stock was placed on sale, signifies the eagerness of careful investors to share in the
wonderful future of this new company. There is not one dollar's worth of "promotion stock"
in this company every share is a part of the company's capital and surplus stock.

EAD every word of this announcement. ( The opportunity is incredibly great.
What you decide NOW has a direct bearing upon YOUR future; a great deal
more than it has upon OURS. Because while this company is to be truly co
operative; owned and controlled by the public the opportunity given you now
MUST be accepted at once. Accepted IMMEDIATELY or forever lost. Not a
dollar of the subscriptions for stock will go into "promotion stock." Every CENT
subscribed goes into the capital and surplus stock of what is to be NEBRASKA'S
greatest HOME .Insurance Company.
Not only will this Company benefit through the tremendously increasing de
mand for Fire and Automobile Insurance which has, up to now, been going to com
panies OUTSIDE Nebraska. It will take its just and fair share in handling insur
ance business which, in the past, has been turned over to capitalists of the European

financiers in the past ten years. That financial market is closed; the foreign inter-. C
ests can no longer handle America's insurance business. American capital MUST " ..j
and WIEL do it , ' r t
And we invite you NO W TOD AY to j oin us in handling our sha re of this enor
mous business; with its vast possibility for legitimate profit. An instance of these im
possibilities is had in these figures on the business of The American Auto Insurance j
Company, of St. Louis, Mo. In 1911 this company was incorporated with resources r
of $250,000. At the end of 1917, their total resources amounted to $1,381,825.97!
When they started, with no premium income, of course, they were on the road to a r.
premium income of $2,089,000 their income for 1917. And that businesses on au- t

Over $4,000,000 Premiums Went Out of This State in 1918
This vast sum is figured over and above the losses paid back into the
State. Premiums collected by incorporated, stocf Fire Companies from the
State of Nebraska, in 1918, amounted to $7,491,697. Losses paid back
into the State, in 1918, amounted to $3,388,468. Nebraska Companies re
ceived only $62,629 of this tremendous volume of profitable business.
Can you couple this condition with the coming of the American Na
tional Fire Insurance Company, of Nebraska? Cannot you see that a Com
pany as large as ours simply cannot fail to take over a tremendous share of
this business? And can you possibly fail to see that this is YOUR 'oppor
tunity to share in one of the most remarkable business successes in our fi
nancial history? Ask us for complete figures on the Insurance business
we'll gladly send them.
