ORIGINAL FEATURES.

LA u
"The policy features are decidedly or
isinal and will meet with favor among
insurers. The partial indemnity and
sickness clause in the personal accident
policy is q desirable one and agents will
find that there is ample field for it.
1t is a policy that is advantageous
both for agent and insured. The liza
bility contracts contain the same fea-
lures and limitations that policies is
sued by stock companies do. The rates
are, however, fully thirty per cent. low
era condition which cannot but at
tract the attention of those who regard
saving as equivalent to making money.
There should be a prosperous ca
reer before the American Mutual and
it should enjoy this from practically
the very outstart. It really has no
competitors in the liability lines from
mutual companies. The directors are
all heavy insurers themselves and their
business acquaintance will be of ma
terial assistance in calling attention
to it's merits and plans.

| LIABILITY INSURANCE.
| "The subject of liability insurance is
| deserving of moro than passing COM
| ment. Legislation and decisions of
| courts tend more and more to throw
| the onus of responsibility for accidents
to worllmen upon their employers and
| to hold the latter to a strict measure
of accountability. Employers general
| ly are not familiar with the law of neg
| ligence which operates frequently to
| infiict serious losses upon them, curtail-
| ing profits to the last degree and depre-
| ciating commercial credit. Irrespective
of legitimate claims for injury found
| ed on an element of liability to the en-
| ployer numerous unjust claims are
| filed daily and persons making such
claims find no difficulty with the aid of
| INSCRIPTIONS attorneys Chose whose
fee is share of the recovery, to carry
their cases to the courts, relying for
| success upon the sympathy of juries
| and the like. The American Mutual
| holds itself in readiness to offer in
| demnity against damages, where a
| claim is rightfully made, and likewise
| it affords protection against unjust
| claims and veNatious and costly litiga-
| tion.
THE foregoing, coupled with the 9TH
er forms of indemnity afforded, gives
| agents a wide field in which to work.
They are not limited to one particular
| form of casualty protection. In addi-
tiOn, the general public secures its pro-
| lection at rate much lower than has
hitherto been offered and in a company
composed Of those who rank high in
the commercial world because of their
business ability, personal integrity and
| financial strength.
