EIGHTY PERCENT FARMERS
Outside of our home city where we have a very large volume of insurance in force, eighty percent of our business is among farmers. One of our popular policies pays the Insured more in cash at the end of twenty years than all of his premiums and the rate is not high. We also issue Total Disability and Double Indemnity Insurance. Every provision in our policies is guaranteed by a deposit of the full cash value with the State of Indiana.

When you go into a store to buy shoes, say to the clerk, "I want a pair of. shoes". Don't say, "I want a pair of shoes". If you name a brand of shoes you know will give you satisfaction, you not only say you want shoes, but you know about what you want. A clerk will always give closer attention to a customer who knows what he wants. It is human nature. The clerk will be more likely to give you satisfaction, even if he does not have the make of shoes you ask for, because he will know better what to show you, if you are willing to consider another make.
