If you own select property-within the limits of city fire protection-you can cut your insurance cost. The 25% policyholder dividend returned at expiration of each fire and windstorm policy has saved policyholders more than nine million dollars since organization of the Indiana Lumbermens Mutual.

If you qualify for this saving-you are entitled to it. Why not investigate this saving on all your insurance. Call Lincoln 5345 for complete information.
