TONTINE LEE INSURANCE.


Mr.. EDIToR-An anonymous article appeared
in the columns Of your issue Of April % |, under
the above heading intended suppose, as an at.
tack upon the TOntine plan Of assurance, now so
popular among large class of insurers,
Anonymous attacks universally emanate from
towards, those barnaCles upon the social polity
who injure friend and foe alike, who seek to tear
down without building up, who continually
shield Themselves in darkness, and cover their
tricks in the shadow Of their cowardice.
This attack on the Tontine plan Of Insurance, II
there is any point in to it, is one Of misrepresent.
alton, and infers what the author seems to be too
much Of poltroon to say, even in an anonymous
article.
His quotation from the report of the Insurance
Commissioner of New Hampshire seems to be
more of comment upon a species Of dlsreputabe
insurance agents, who occasionally creep into
that as we'll as all other branches Of business than
upon the Tontine plan Of insurance Doubtless
the author Of the article referred to belongs to that
class Of agents, and finding his business slipping
away from him takes this disreputable way Of
venting his spite on community whose intelli-
gent endorsement Of Tontine Insurance is the
best evidence OF Its popularity and the advan.
tages 1t offers. j. c ALLEN, Special Agent
