There is no such thing as "almost jaght" or "nearly
perfect" title to real estate. It is either absolutely
right and valid or it is worthless.
You would not buy "a pig iia poke."
Buying real estate without an abstract amounts to.
the same thing.
The small sum you invest in our service is insurance
against future loss and worry.
Abstracts of tifle supplied by us are accurate
