pirate to say at this time that at the organizations

adopted the following salntary rule OF action, viz;

to take money enough upon issEiHg q Policy ~
pay any probable loss during its continuance, sHdfE
addition to the amount of CASA received, TO require

parent to ey ery business man. That in order suC-
c~essfully to conduct the business of an Insurance
Company and promptly pay its losses, the funds
shouldbe provided before the loss happens. Upon
this principle of reasoning, the Directors COM
menced the business of the Company $50 far 1t
