IS YOtiR TITLE GOOD?
If you should at any time need an abstract to any [lands or lots in
Cleveland County, you will want to know, not only that your abstract
is correctly gotten up and certified, but also that the bond guarantee-
ing the work is absolutely good in the event that you should have to
look to it for protection. I beg to say that the accuracy of each and
every al>straet that goes out of my office is absolutely guaranteed by
TftE ArMERIOArN SURETY CO., of NEW YORK
gjvsh- gh-pitrt-l stock $2,500,000: ft-ssets $5,800,000.
The superiority of a bond of this kind over a personal bond can be
readily appreciated, as it frequently happens that an error is not dis-
covered for years and a personal surety may then be financially irre-
sponsible through death or bankruptcy. In getting an abstract you
will want absolute protection and I am in a position to furnish it.
May I make your abstract?
