A New Industry Destined to Revolu-
tionize Business Methods

Credit insurance has made rapid strides
in the past few years. the on
rerimental stage has been passed. and
even now, with thinking business men.
this kind Of insurance Is recognized as
of equal Importance as fire Insurance,
and is becoming more and more popular.
Credit insurance guarantees TO confina
the losses to minimum. and carries
with it the assurance of reimbursement
In the event that in any year the losses
should Exceed the normal and agreed
amount. Credit insurance as now written
absolutely limits your losses to a cer-
tain amount or percentage of Your sales
Tor a year, The premium charge for a
credit Insurance policy counts as nothing
against what you might loose through
| excessive losses on account of insolvent
| debtors The element of chance IS eimi-
| I ated You can figure on a certainty. IL
| losses by bad debts occur II wipes out
| the profits on large amount of sales
| Credit insurance enables a man to in
crease his business without increase of
| risk; it gives an assurance of security
| that Is invaluable; II reduces 10 a mint
| mum the hazard of mercantile enter
Prise: 1t guards the property interest of
| all who relinquish title to their goods
when they separate themselves from
| possession on the promise of customers
| to pay.
Credit insurance Is destined to revolu-
tionize the business methods If this coun-
try, and st Louis can to-day boast OF
having the only company of the kind in
| the world. Its business extends all oyel
the United States with leading iobbers
and manufacturers. 1t is growing with
marvellous rapidity. In 1900 its premiums
were over million dollars. In 1890 tn,
nemiums received were double those o.
1899. and so far this '.ear more thar
double the amount during the same per
