Organizing Grange Ins. Co.

Delegates from the granges of Washtenaw and Wayne have organized a fire insurance company. C. F. Smith, of Plymouth, is president, and C. M. Fellows, of Saline, is secretary. At a meeting held in Grange hall, Ypsilanti, June 19, plans were formulated to secure a charter under the state law. The Grange has a large membership in both counties and it is believed that an insurance company can do business through the Grange with very little expense aside from the general losses. Several counties in the state are doing a successful business in this way.
