Some of the text in this Vintage Ad:
For the only home he ever owned…Lincoln chose this Hartford policy
It is the first week of February, 1861.
Abraham Lincoln is winding up his affairs
in Springfield, Illinois. Next Monday morning
he begins the trip to Washington, where
he is to be inaugurated as sixteenth President
of the United States.
Mr. Lincoln has just said goodbye to a
visitor. The man was James L. Hill, local
agent of the Hartford Fire Insurance
Company, who has left with Mr. Lincoln
the insurance policy which protects the
only home he has ever owned.
At Mr. Lincoln's request, Jim Hill had
made a thorough inspection of the property
only a few days before. He noted the construction
of the buildings . . . measured
their dimensions and the distances between
them. Then he drew up a policy for the
President-elect-and delivered it.
We are proud that Abraham Lincoln
chose to insure his home with the Hartford.
And we treasure the original policy to this
day. Mr. Lincoln's son, Robert Todd
Lincoln, presented it to Hartford Agent Jim
Hill as a memento several years after the
President's death.
Copies of this historic document are
available upon request. Write the Hartford
Fire Insurance Company, Hartford 15,
Conn., and ask for “The Lincoln Policy.”
