In one year, in one state, 111 fire insurance companies report 2960 
fire losses on farm buildings—2165 of which were caused by lightning. 
Think of it—lightning causes over 75 % of all fire losses in the country 
and suburbs of cities. Lightning is responsible for the loss of thousands 
of lives and millions of dollars' worth of property and stock. 
Prof. West Dodd’s Wonderful Invention, 
D. & S. Woven Copper Cable Lightning Rod and System 
of Installation,' has given to humanity perfect safety and 
i v protection from this terrible destroyer; Safety for the home 
and family/ ” ‘ 
Protection to animal life and property. The 
D. & S. Rod and System of Installation is the only one en¬ 
dorsed by the Mutual Insurance Companies of the United 
States and Canada—this absolutely regardless of all like 
claims made by agents other than our own. 
It Pays For Itself. 
. Leading fire insurance companies of the world (list of them sent free upon request) will allow 10 to 33% per cent 
off your insurance bills when your buildings are protected by D. & S. Rods. Thus it quickly pays for itself— 
And Then Begins To Save You Money When Your Next Insurance Bills Come Due.

workmanship obtainable; 30 pure soft copper wires, so 
scientifically arranged that the entire surface of each wire

but—if you want reliable protection—turn imitations down 
—insist on and accept nothing but the only genuine light¬ 
ning rod ever invented—the rod trademarked D. & S. 
Every one fully guaranteed forever. A guarantee that with 
us amounts to something. To you—it means absolute pro¬ 
tection against loss (fully explained in catalogue—send for 
it). “Thousands of satisfied customers are our best ad¬ 
vertisements—they know they are safely protected.” More 
D. & S. Rods sold than any other 3 makes combined. 
scrupulous concerns advertise and endeavor to sell imitation 
lightning rods and systems of installation which they take 
pride in craftily claiming are like the D. & S. Woven Copper 
Cable Lightning Rod and System of Installation.
