"An Honest Tale Speeds Best."

IF EVERY ACENT

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, "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.

That would be an absolutely lionest tale, and would certainly speed best for the
