AGRICU,LTURE MARCHES
WITH OUR ARMED FORCES
Behind the lines where men and women are risking life to defend home
and country, other men and women are toiling to supply the materials of war
--ships, planes, tanks, guns. These manufacturers—management and work-
ers alike—are thus fighting shoulder to shoulder with our armed forces.
But what about the farmers? They are doing a work of equal .impor-
tance. 'They too are marching to battle, by toiling early and late to per-
,suade nature to increase food and other essential supplies on which the
issues of the fight so greatly depend. The farmer marches side by side, with
the soldier and his armourer.
Farmers who are doing their bit to help Canada's all-out war effort max
find it necessary to borrow money at the Bank. You should not hesitate
to discuss your- requirements with our nearest branch manager. Your
business will be regarded as strictly confidential.

TO OUR POLICY-HOLDERS:—
The Mutual Fire Underwriters Association for Ontario at their
Annual Convention instituted a Campaign for a "25% loss reduc-
tion" for 1942.
At the last meeting of our Boards of Directors, resolutions were
passed in support of this Campaign,
You Are Asked To Do Your Part
THIS IS HOW:—
Do not smoke in or around your Outbuildings.
Do not handle gasoline near aflame or spark.
Do not allow oily waste to accumulate.
Clean up all Rubbish and Litter around Buildings.
See that your Chimneys are all in good condition.
See that your Electric wiring is properly done.
Fire is a demon of destruction and causes the greatest of all
wastes, both in property and life. We therefore appeal to all our
policy -holders as loyal citizens to make a determined effort to see
that no fire large or small, is allowed to start on your premises. .By
doing this you will contribute doubly to the war effort by saving a
loss in the first instance and saving the material and effort neces-
sary for replacement.
