Just as good as the Hartford 
P ERSONS scattered all over the United States are asking their agents or brokers to get them policies in 
the Hartford. But some of them are being persuaded to accept policies in other companies because 
the agent or broker argues thatthe companies he wants to give them are “just as good as the Hartford.” 
But are they just as good? Do you know about any of them as you know about the Hartford? The 
Hartford is today the best known fire insurance company in America. It is more than one hundred years 
old and in that time has promptly and fairly met every loss. It does the largest business of any company in 
America and at San Francisco paid the largest single loss in fire insurance history. When an agent or broker 
asks you to accept a policy in some company “just as good”, remember these things about the Hartford and 
take no other company, however “good.” 
The penalty of a mistake in choosing a company falls on you. When you choose the Hartford you 
take no chances. Ask ior the Hartford and accept no substitute. Any agent or broker can get it for you, so 
when vour poliev expires
