"You can only rely on the guaranteed amounts. Dividends are guaranteed also, "huf not their amounts. No Company, "mine, or any other car 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, should be your guide.
