H. SOMERS, Pres. C. E. of Error or Blunder, Which For several weeks past an advertisement bas appeared in this paper of the cost of insurance, for Dwelling or Household Gi oris, in the residential portion of our village, by a new insurance firm, giving tbe cost ol $1,000.00 at about five cents a day, (unquestionably intended to read per week, instead of day, as any stock company will write for less than this sum), which figured out exactly, makes the cost $91.25 for a five year policy.

I wrote a policy five years ago, for $1,000.00, for a well known business man in town, id tbe Providence Mutual of Rhpne Island, and they have declared a 40 per cent dividend on same, which makes the total cost of the protection exactly $6.40, or less than 2 'a cents per week, about one fifteenth the cost as advertised by tbe other firm. Don't you want to save 40 per cent on your insurance Remember my motto, don't take my word for it, but investigate. I have eight strong Stock, and four old Mutual Companies in my agency, and can write large lines on almost anything. C. S.
