EQUITABLE FIRE OFFICE.
Capital-500,0-01.
(Incorporated under 7 and 8 Viet., cap. 110.)
The leading principles of this Office are —Moderate and equitable
Rates of Premium for each class of risk—Annual division of Profits.
The difficulty of collecting the elements on which to proportion
Premium to risk in. Inserance against Loss by Fire has been so
treat, that the rates at present charged are more the result of guess
than Calculation.
It has been found by experience, that the total annual losses of the
different Established Companies have net been proportionate to the
amount of annual Premiums received by each.
It is of the highest importance, both to the Insured and Insurers,
that such an anomaly should cease, and an approximation to the
true risk be made. To secure this object the Equitable Fire Insu-
rancs Company is established.
The true rate of Premium for Fire Insarance can only be ap-
Preached through Classification and Average, which has not hitherto
been sufficiently acted • n, or systematically awaited.
Whatever be the nominal rate, the bonus or return periodically to
the Insured will determine the true Premium equitably payable, as
security against loss for so great a calamity as fire, and the Insurer
is largely interested in this question, and will consult his interest by
ElPPorting a system where, by a careful combination of Classifica-
tion and Average, the Premium will be proportioned to the risk.
The Equitable Fire Office will, by a constant anal, sic of its own
exPerience, from time to tire, adopt each rates of Premium as the
nature of the risk may justify, and will decline to enter into arrange-
ments as regards tariffs with other offices.
With this view an annual in vestige' ion will be made into each
elass of risk, and a return of one moiety, or fifty per cent. of the nett
excess will be made to all classes of Insurers whose Policies have
been in force for three years.
Insurances against Loss by Fire are effected by this Company upon
every description of Pronerty on moderate terms.
Farming Stock insured at 3s per cent, without the Average Clause.

10 A MISFITTING COAT.

Whatever could the " snip" have meant to do
When making such an article as you ?
One of your parts is tight, and one is slack ;
I'm quite ashamed to put you on my back.
In parts the tailor should have made you bigger,
In order to adapt you to my figure;
While other portions should be made much less—
You really quite di=grace the name of dress.
To i make your owner such an ugly elf
That he's ashamed to look upon himself.
I wish I'd gore to MOSES —that I do—
Instead of buying such a coat as you ;
My money has been thrown into the street--
Anothe t would be a perfect treat.
But is Isdon for the future will I learn,
And never I uy at such a mean concern.
To MOSE. ' Mart in future I'll repair,
For I sh i:` get a fitting garment there.
T., hat aPI (coat which my friend Thompson bought,
In point : tiEnot made wrong in aught.
I only think what M. and SON would say,
If such a coat as you were in their way :
They'd not allow you house-room at their shop,
:Nor any such a specimen of slep.
