LIGHTNING ROD PROTECTION

For over a century the scientific world generally has advocated the

need of the protection of houses, barns and other property against lightning, and experience has now proved conclusively that when the equipment to secure this protection is carefully and Intelligently selected and installed the protection afforded is almost complete. In view of this experience many insurance companies make lower rates for protected buildings, which some companies will not insure an unprotected building at all. The U. S. weather bureau recommends the protection of all important farm buildings where thunderstorms are frequent, particularly when human or valuable animal life is involved. The loss of a farm building will almost surely cause inconvenience and generally an actual money loss, even when the building is insured. With many years’ experience in the lightning ro'd business I am prepared to rod your buildings In a scientific manner and at the lowest possible price.—F. A.
