A NEAT Observation-Disclosures
4 gentleman called at the office of the Sun
recently to ascertain the cost Of an adver-
tisement relating to insurance and seemed
a little piqued at the systematic exac,itudc
which regulated the charge. Looking up

the second" "Oh no. sir interrupted the
clerk, we only charge for an extra line

who entertained a different view of the

has expired a single hour when he is burnt
out, he would look in vain to the insurance
company to remedy his disaster This
argument seemed to settle the matter. for
