Reasons T7hy You Should Insure Your Prop erty with the Abbeville-Greenwood Mu tual Insurance Association. 1. It is an Association of the people, for the people, and we have thoroughly demonstrated that mutual insurance is practicable foi / and by homefolks. 2. This Association insures against "fire and lightning, cyclones tornadoes and wind storms," while capital companies insure against fire 3 This Association has half ;i million dollars of property insured, and since its organization has paid thirteen thousand dollars of losses at an average annual assessment ol one-half of one per cent., oiic-fil'Ui of the eost of other companies, anc not in a single instance, has it re sorted to the aid of .the'Courts tc collect an asscssmorit or to adjust i loss. 4. By this plan 3*011 pay for tlx protjjiifeien'you havo enjoyed in th< ^past, and if there is no loss, I hen : is no expense ; while in other com panies you pay in advance for pro tection you expect to ^et; though may not get except paid for dcarlj by legal proceedings. 5. This plan is a contract betweei neighbors; while in other companies you enter into a contract written by the company, for the compan}and against you. You can read anc understand the policy of this com pany. Few understand mi aver age insurance policy. 6. Speedy, fair and honorable adjustment of all losses of property are made at assessed valuation when insured, with no three-fourths clause attached. The man whe values your property is your neigh who also adjusts your loss; while in other companies, when you sus tain a loss, a stranger comes and looks into the ashes and says what is to be paid you. 7. You can with small expense insure against fire, wind and storm, while a fire policy is about all you can afford in the oiu companies. You can enjoy the satisfaction of knowing that if your dwelling is burned, it is insured in an Association composed of friends and neighbors, who will pay every dollar at which it was valued, and not be subject to thousand and one restrictions, imposed by other companies, * more for their advantage than for the protection of the insured. The money paid out is kept at home, and every dollar goes to the loser of property, which means the upbuilding of your own county. 8. Don't wait to be burned out arid becomc a burden to j^our friends by having them beg for 3'ou, when absolute protection is yours by easting in your mite. Demonstration is a fact, and co-operation is your duty. Therefore, at once insure in tne Abbeville-Greenwood Mutual Insurance Association.
