Insure Against Financial Loss And Insure Your Peace Of Mind
The three great State Farm Insurance Companies offer you a complete insurance service for Automobile, Fire, and Life, backed by a nation-wide reputation for Service and Satisfaction.
State Farm Mutual Automobile Insurance Company is America's leading automobile insurance com- pany. It is the choice of nearly 3,000,000 American automobile owners.
Let us tell you today about State Farm Mutual's famous auto insurance plan that has made it the leader in the business - and when you get ready to buy a new car, let us show you how you can save money through the State Farm Bank Plan.
The State Farm Life Insurance Company-one of the country's top one-third companies-offers you complete life insurance protection to satisfy your needs and your pocketbook. A State Farm rep- resentative will be glad to go over your insurance program with you, at your convenience, and give you counsel on how you can adapt your program to present-day needs, both for your family and your business.
In these days of increased property values, it is highly important to make sure that your fire insurance program is adequate and sound. Would you be willing to sell your home or other property today for the amount of the insurance which you now carry on it? If you own property in a fire-protected community, a State Farm Fire and Casualty Co. Agent will be glad to give you, without obligation, an analysis of your fire insurance needs. Let me show you ways of avoiding heavy loss in case of fire, tornado, riot, civil commotion or other disaster.
