FISHER, Secretary. . • Remarks by the Outgoing President of the Farmers’ Mutual Insurance Association. The 18th annual report of the Farmers’ Mutual shows losses sustained this year to be much in excess of averages of other yeajs. The good balance in the excess fund of last vear will enable the company to meet its present obligations with a *25 cents assessment per SIOO.OO. . Tlie years experience has proven this association able to lurmsh protection against loss by fire and lightning at average cost of about 23 cents on the SIOO.OO. . All members and friends of Mutual Farm Insurance are to be congratulated that the question of a cheap, a safe and a perfectly fair system of farm insurance has been met and solved by the mutual companies. It proves that owners of farm property can have the benefit of ideal protection at a cost to them of less than one-half the price demanded by the commercial or old-line insurance companies, who operate in the same field. The Mutual In- ¥ sur^. nc ® s / stem is J u st the application of ordinary common sense methods in this line. The Farmers’ Mutual asks only for ~ a fair consideration of its claims to prove all it stands for i. e.: cheapness, reliability and fairness. With this year my work as president of the association will end, and Mr. D. W. assume that position. lam certain Mr. Biddle will assume that.hsterty3o9,flflandL7O- 5 Mr Biddle will give his best effort to the discharge of the duties he will assume in the association. He is a careful business man fully awake to every need of the association, having been a member for several years. His father, J. H. Biddle, was president during the first years of the company’s usefulness. I ask the (hearty co-opera-tion \of all mutual members with the present management so we shall continue in the benefits to be furnished by our mutual organization. W. J*- —McCOLLOUGH, Retiring President.
