A man called atone ef our shoe stores yesterday and vainly essayed to get on either number 11,12 or 13 shoes. Tbe storekeeper then suggeated that he put on a thinner pair of stockings and try on the box." This didn't occur at Noyes Andrews', for at that popular •hoe bouse no one ever fails to be suited in size, quality, price or elegance of any kind of foot wear, whether boots, shoes or rubbers, for men, women and children. And the pleasant feature Is that all are treated alike, whether old or young, rich or poor, Democrat, Republican or Granger. N. Andrew/* for xota and shoes all the time.

The managers of the Springfield Fire and Marine Inaurance company include some of our staunchest business men and shrewdest capitalists, and the career of tbe company has from tbe first been upright and honorable. It has met reverses, as have all fire insurance companies during tbe last ten or twelve years, but none of them have been sufficient to dsunt its spirit,or impair in tbe leant lt8 vitality The great ire in Troy called on it fors50,000,which waa considered a sizable loss In those days. Then came Portland, with a de mand for $100,000 more. The sre«t conflagration at Chief so drew $525,000 from its treaanry, ai a last came tbe Boston fira, with Its demand for $250,000 more. Each of three dlsssters wrecked numerous weak companies, but the old Fire and Marin® paid every dollar of ita losses, and received, last fear, a larger sum In oash premiums !y a quarter of a million of dollars, than any other company lntheSt«te. This fact, with tbe additional one tbat it has resumed the payment of divldends to its stockholders, indicates how triumphantly It baa weathered the gale and wnat a good condition it is In to breast future storms. Its gross sasets, January 1. were «1,067,184 The reputation of the Fire and Marine ia national, and well It may be, as the oompany la, In every point of comparison, the strongest fire insurance oompany in Massachusetts,—[Springfield Republican.

..j^The Home Insurance Company, of New York, during the year 1878, collected the largest lot of premiums, and paid the greatest tax In tbe state of Indiana, of any oompany doing business here. This is a magnificent showing, and fully exhibits the superior standing of this great company. Facts speak louder tnnn words, and no one can doubt tha&tbe great merits of th* Homo aw appreciated by the people of Indiana. Those who patronise it get the full security for which thsy pay. Liberality, promptnem, fair dealing and ample sreurlty are attributes of the Home. In every great crisis In which other companies have been torn and shakes and wrecked, the Home haa ridden along triumphantly. "Ita foundations are set upon a rock." Tbe great Chicago and Boston fire* broogb* thousands of dollars of losses to It, out It psid them dollar for dollar and maintained Ita place at tbe head of underwriting. The Homo always does what it acrHW to do. It offers indemnity from loss by Are at a reasonable rate, and If the loss ymes the Indemnity Is as •ure to follow as the day fellows the tiigtit. Men who are insured In the Home can rest secure in tbe satisfaction tbst If their property ia burned, they will receive every ceut of the In* demnlty for which they have paid. Th* vast business done by it show* what a hold it has gained upon popular folth and confidant*. In this clly C. X, not* is tfco agost*
