RECEIPTS FOR THE RENEWAL OF POLICIES

COURSE OF DELIVERY.

THE Managers of the COUNTY FIRE OFFICE
invite a public examination into the principles and practice of tha
Ake for which they wet. They are proud to declare, that the great)
object of Insurance, viz. a prompt :cid ample indemnity, has been
so invariably yielded by the County (Mice that mat a single lidgatios.

This security the oiliee is t... tbled at all times to ~lEird, because. Ist.

who insure, the direetms of the County Office, have shunned the
delusive and pernicious p active of making a large return of profit
uniform and certain, and of rim:luring the payineut of claims de-
pendant on what may be left. Their fixed rule is the payment of
all jti it cLtims immodiatety—the return of profit is left to vary with
events. They liars additrinally to observe, that as the original
capital is ilccincil of sta ient magnitude for all pi-poses of security
it is esprsly provided in the policies, the.t Cie subscribers to that
fund alortz shall he answerable for losses. Hence those who insure
while entitled to sham profits arc protected from the liability for
the of other. which has been in meveecly fe% in societies upon the
mitributionship or Union principle ; and which. together with the
dillictety and uncertainty of procuring. restitution, has ge.nernily led
to the failure or dissolution of such societies.
