I Gets Prompt And Satisfactory Settlement Roxboro, N. C, September 2, 1929. Mr. S. P. Satterfleld. Agent. Roxboro, N C. Dear Mr. Satterfleld: I want to thank you for your uni form courtesy and the way you hand led my hall loss. The hall occurred on August 19th and you paid me on August 31st. I made only one mistake. I should have taken more Insurance. Mr. Hall, your adjuster, paid me every penny he could under the con tract and was otherwise an affable, courteous gentleman, * I had many to suggest the unwise move to take hail Insurance, said the companies would not pay me for It. That principally "was by those v^ho also had tobacco and railed to take insurance. I think they were mad with themselves for not having It. I had faith in the "Old and Tried" and promise you here and now to take hall Insurance every year in the future while I make tobacco and will take more of It. I advised ? my farmer friends to do likewise. I am absolutely satisfied with your settlement, near $1700.00. It will go1 a long ways In paying my expenses to j make this tobacco. Again thanking you. I am Yours very truly, X R. Oarrett. Assured. "Path Across The Hills" The play. ,sTBe* Path Across The Hills." will be given at Olive HU1 school on next Friday night. Sept. 6th. at 7:10.
