Fire Insurance
Some merchants kick because men
working for wages buy their goods
cheaper in some markets and raise a
fuss because HOME INDUSTRY
IS NOT PATRONIZED????
I do not kick if they don't insure
with me. WHY ? ? ? because I
represent only RELIABLE COM
PANIES.
The merchant is looking for some
thing cheap.
