An Honest Tale Speeds, Best."
Shakespeare.
་
IF EVERY AGENT
told an absolutely honest tale," this is about what he would say to an intending- Assurer:-
"You can only rely on the guaranteed "amounts. Dividends are guaranteed also, but not their Amounts. No Company, "mine, or any other can promise, in advance, the amount of future dividends. "You can rely on any of the good Com- "panies paying you a reasonable share of "the profits earned. You must decide for "yourself which Company will make the "BEST returns. SURPLUS, and SURPLUS- * EARNINGS, shonk be your guide.” That would be an absolutely honest tale, and would certainly speed best for the $20
