I made my last application. from
which I learn that the Cash Values
guaranteed in my old policies have
been increased. The increase being

Talk of dime novels" exclaimed
the insurance man. "You ought to
read a detective bureau report on an
insurance case IL you want a thriller.
Our company carries a great deal OF
burglary insurance and. of course,
when a robbery occurs to any Of our
customers We put detectives on the
case. The reports that these men
send in are simple statements of facts
boiled down hard aud containing moth
ing but what is absolutely essential
to the business. but for intense interest
they beat any novel ever read or ex.
pect to read. Occasionally after .
case Is finished and has become an
cient history I get out these reports
and read theA to a group OF my
friends. and no play can hold a more
absorbed audience. The actual trailing
of a criminal by detectives and the
marvels Of ingenuity on both sides are
world beaters for dramatic situations
and excitement."-NewY York Press.
