Did You Read about the Tornado at Cuthbert?
You Insure Against Fire, Why not Insure against STORMS?
Tornadoes destroy almost as much property in South Georgia as
fire. Many South Georgia towns have been hit and we do not
know how soon PELHAM may be added to the List. BETTER IN¬
SURE NOW and BE SAFE THAN PUT IT OFF and Be SORRY.
The Pelham Insurance Agency will be glad to write you a policy
that will protect you against loss by FIRE or STORMS.
We write FIRE, AUTOMOBILE and TORNADO Insurance.
