(Continued on Last Page) influenza-pneumoni- two-fol- d o FORMER RESIDENT WEDDING RECEPTION -- n The change, Mr. Hurst points out, has been made because of the increasing demand and necessity for complete protection of titles to property. He Rtates that title insurance is rapidly supplanting the abstract, which, in itself, has been proven insufficient as a guarantee against the possible loss or invalidating of an owner's claim to property. Abstracts, it is pointed out, may ba perfectly sound on their face, and, yet furnish but feeble defense to litigation which may be brought from several sources. Throughout the many transactions which become a part of every title, forged deeds, deeds revoked by the death or insanity of the principals, deeds by a minor, an insane person or a person under the influence of liquor, claims by undisposed heirs, deeds invalidated by the discovery of lost or suppressed wills and many other hidden defects may at any time render the instrument null and void. However, under the terms, of title insurance, the property owner places of the entire matter in the hand the insuring company. The company prosecutes the case in court of law. and in case of defeat indemnifies the holder of the policy. The Intermountaln Title Guaranty Co., has been financed entirely with intermountaln capital, and is one of the soundest and most progressive financial institutions in the west. er g, FLU-PNEUMON- WITH TITLE CO. in ACTION IS TAKEN ON OUR PAVING PROJECT out-of-to- .
