Friend Fowler only stretched the truth
about S2oo,ooo, not bad for him when
We consider the severe mental excitement
be was laboring under, caused by the
fear that be should not secure that little
commission.
Mr., Fowler stated that "prudlo's

At the time Jhe Peoples failed, and

Mr.. i. refers to the cost of insuranc,
IN the Lycoming, Vermont Mutual anC
other companies, and quotes Mrs. Van
derlip's case. She held a policy of $500
in the company, the yearly cost of whicI
was $40. Her extra assessment for Chi
cago fire was S1l2.5 50, add this to tn
first cost and the assessments for fly
years, and the average cost per year 70
$4,000 would be So 80, including the eX
ira assessment for Chicago. The annua
cost in Mr.. Fowler's companies would b
S97. 80. SO much for that; how is it i
the Vermont Mutual.
Barnum Richardson Il Co., held
policy for $1,000, cash payment was 800
one years assessment $50.
Fourteen months from time policy wa

a total loss. The company paid them tn

and no Chicago fire at that. This is th
