In his report he states that the company is to be commend ed for valuing of its securities as of December 31, 1932 instead of taking the valuations adopted by the National Convention of Insur ance Commissioners, reflecting val ues as o f June 30, 1931. No dila tory tactics, said the examiner, are used in handling claims. In excess of 55 per cent of its bond values are U. S. government bonds and the remainder are of a high grade and good marketability. All of its mortgages and a substantial part of its investments are in the state o f Oregon. A fter paying all just and legal claims and setting aside adequate reserves, it shows a sur plus to policyholders of $198,408.» 51. In conclusion the report states that as a result of the examination it appears that the Oregon Auto mobile Insurance company is in ex cellent financial condition. It has paid out in claims to its policy holders the sum of $943,496.00. Based on the volume of business transacted, capital and surplus, the company is in a position to render service of a high order to its policy- holders . The Oregon Automobile Insur ance company is purely an Oregon institution being a standard stock company owned entirely by Oregon people and is most deserving of patronage by Oregonians. It i3 the one and only Stock Casualty company owned entirely by Oregon people. This splendid company has been represented in Beaverton and vicinity for the last seven years by N. J . Skee.

Zenner Seed The manager of Zenner’s Seed Co. at 510 Belmont Street in Port land haa a reputation far and wide as a business man of wide ex perience and straightforward meth ods and it is not surprising that the volume of business is ever in creasing. If you select your seeds from the Zenner's Seed Store you will be as sured the highest quality seeds on the market. Their stock includes only merchandise as have been test ed and have proven germination per centage. They stand behind the stock and give their years of ex perience and a large list of satis fied customers as their best refer ence. The stock not only includes field seeds of all kinds; it also includes garden seeds, flower seeds and a general line of supplies for keeping up lawns and gardens. The manager, Mr. A. Zenner, has made a scientific study of the needs of the territory in seeds and se cures special brands that suit the trade of the state. Every farmer should call around here occasionally and see how production can be in creased. T^ieir brand is by far the better mixture of grasses offered for the purpose o f quickly producing a per manent lawn. It is prepared from a special formula, and is a careful blending of varieties adapted to this climate. It is also highly re commended to be sown over our country lawns, as it gives you a nice velvety lawn during the year and rebuilds your old lawn. Ttie matter of price has also re ceived attention here, for it has be come a well established fact not only in the city hut in the surround ing country that the quotations of this store are always as low as good business dictates. They per mit no one to offer greater values just as they permit no one to o f fer higher quality, and this happy combination has resulted in a large 1 and ever increasing custom. Mr. Zertn^r, proprietor o i this store, in«rites the public to make this place their headquarters when in town and he will be glad to ren der any little service for your con venience.
