 the Best life insurance rating agency. 

 Farm Bureau members who own and 

 control the company will be pleased to 

 learn that their high estimate of 

 Country Life is shared by professional 

 life insurance people. This rating was 

 given without the purchase of adver- 

 tising books, agents supplies, or other 

 forms of petty bribery which recent 

 newspapers report is getting to be 

 something of a racket in the insurance 

 world.
