Insurance has become the settled
policy of the American business man
today as much so as any other fixed
policy The American merchant who
has made a success of life would no
more think of allowing his earnings or
capital invested in merchandise to go
a single day without insurau e against
loss by fire than he would think of
exposing himself to the dreaded and
awful fatal disease of yellow fever
The business man who can always
carries a life policy on his life to pro-
tect his loved onces against the possi-
bility of an accident and today the
American farmer has opened his eyes
to the business principle that has so
long prompted the merchant and the
husbandman now stands abreast with
the times He desires to protect his
labors as he toils in his field against
the possibilities of a failure that he
and his family may reap the just re-
ward of his labors Could the ideals
of American citizenship be higher?
The American farmer is as much a
business man today as the banker of
Wall street on his prosperity depends
the prosperity of the American repub-
lic if he pursues business principles in
a business manner the result is inevita-
ble he must rise in the world
In the beautiful promised land of
Oklahoma the industrious farmer has
made his advent he has driven the
herds from the pastures and built
happy and prosperous homes for loved
ones He has turned the pastures into
fields and the land is as rich as the
famous valley of the Nile the rain fall
is ample to produce the most amazing
crops of whatsoever is planted He
well knows that if he plants he
will reap unless the awfull beating
HAIL which frequents our fair land
shall strike his crop then in less time
than you could read this article the
entire years work is wiped out your
cotton beaten into the ground your
corn stripped of its foliage and all
other crops gone
To provide a refuge for the farmer
from the loss by hail more than One
Thousand Farmers of Roger Mills
Day Washita Custer Dewey Greer

Southwestern Mutual Insurance Co

the policy holder " no assessment is
made against the insurred it is “man’s
duty to man” exemplified We insure
