refused to pay an honest claim,
Our plan Of business Is unique.
We decline to do business on the
plan of the old line or legal reserve
companies, simply because that
plan makes II necessary TO collect
eXhorbitant premiums, and falls to
furnish the best security to policy
holders, We will not do business
on the ordinary assessment plan,
because the premiums commonly
charged by such companies are too
low and an increase Is sure to come

bases It rates on what insurance
has cost in the old companies for
the last century and 1t collects
more money for premiums than any
company has ever yet legItlmately
made use Of, This renders higher
premiums unnecessary and unjust,
In this way we have saved to policy
