promptly and satisfactorily. Our
policy holders who have met with
losses are our best friends. We
are willing to leave it to them.
Ask any of them. We do business
for the companies that have the
reputation of paying their losses
promptly and satisfactorily. Not
how cheap but how good. When
we are called upon to write pol
icy we write it in company there
is no question about when the fire

stake our reputation on cheap

never expected one would occur,
and we are expected to pay them,

Two men start from the north
pole and walk away from each 9TH
er; one walks into Europe and the
other into North America. In what
direction is each walking? The fol-
lowing answers were given in reci-
tation to the above question in the
physical geography class: East

east and southwest, both going
south. The last answer, which of

Dora Johnson.
