Why Run
the Hazard

of accepting personal security upon
bond, when corporate security is
vastly superior?
The personal surety may be fnan-
ciallY strong to-day and insolvent
tomorrow; or he may die, and his
estate be immediately distributed.
In any event, recovery is dilatory
and uncertain.
Because of its greater stability, the
United States Government prefers
Corporate Suretyship. Follow its
example, and, when you require
suretyship of any kind, insist upon
having the bond of the largest COM
pany in the world whose business
is restricted TO furnishing surety
ship obligations.

People Were Content to Take Things
Easier Than Now.
If our forefathers could behold the
modern locomotives, automobiles and
electric cars, they would hold up their
hands in establishment.
The stage coach was fast enough then
people were more content TO take
things easy.
They used to be satisfied with any
sort of hair lotion that came along
if il did not prevent badness, they
thought it was because badness could
not be prevented.
It's different now. People know that
germs cause badness and that New

curing dandruff and preventing bald
