stationed regular Discussing OFFICER Of the Gov
eminent. Our facilities are such will enable US
TO make returns on Claims entrusted TO us, in the
shortest possible tine: and the advantages of an
Agency Of this character ut the Scat of Government
will we trust, be fully appreciated by the business
public generally.

A speedy settlement Of these Claims depends en-
clE upon the uitgfy and sulliCcncy of the evidence
