IMPORTANT INSURANCE
AMALGAMATION.
(Cendiuced from page 1) The Nerwich Union Valon Fire surance Society has an authorised capital of £1,100,000, all of which has been subscribed and £132,000- paid to, the shares being for £25 with 43 paid. There is also 4 per cent, debenture stock to the amount
· of £547,194. The company is a well- managed institution, the elder brother of the Norwich Union Life Office, with which it has been closely sociated fer. *usiness purposes. At one time the smpany confined itself to fire insurance, but it now transacts accident and marine basiuess. The Interests of the Norwich and London Accident Insurance Association were acquired as from Jan. 1. 1908.
The fusion is very favourably received in Liverpool insurance circles. The general manager of the Norwich Uaion, Mr. R. Y. Sketch, is very popular among his colleagues, and is an unusually young man to occupy that position. He is looked upon as very capable and progressive. From the point of view of the offices, their business hardly clashes in any way. and the joining of their forces must make for the good of the two com- panies and for the insurance world at large.

QUALITY in
6000 MILE
CORD TIRES
a tire is not appreciated until it asserts itself through long continued trouble-free performance.
:
The gauge to this service is the mileage total recorded when the casing finally is discarded.
The notable achievement of nine stock tire which, put to official finish test by the Automobile Club of America, aceraged 6,760 miles, definitely established the un- usua quality of Vacuum Cup Tires.
B
The rainy day certified test of the Pitts- burgh Taxicab Company in which heavy car equipped with Vacuum Cup. Fires, was driven around a wet corner at 2 miles an hour without skidding-
conclusively proved the guaranteed ability of the Vacuum Cup tread to resist ɛkid- ding on wet, slippery pavementa,
In addition to this proved driving safety and the mileage guarantee-per warranty tag of 6,000 miles, Vacuum Cup Tires are reasonably priced. They cost approxi mately the same as ordinary 3,500 mile tires and much less than other makes carrying equal mileage surety.
