Damage
Statistics show that lightning is one of the chief
• causes of farm fires. This is a danger that must be
guarded against in every way possible and it is
important, above all, that sufficient insurance be
carried to make good the losses that lightning may
cause. Are you protected? A policy in the Hart
ford Fire Insurance Company written by this agency
will relieve you from all worry at a very small cost
to you. j„
Make sure of ycur insurance. Get in touch with the
