service. The Pennsylvania Railroad provides this for the public.
For many months big al-steel coaches, built like Dreadnaughts,
have been operated on all through trains. Their easy-riding
qualities and steadiness of motion have been widely praised. The
an-steel dining cars too have distinct advantages over the wooden
ones. They are stronger and steadier, and the act of eating is
made more enjoyable by the smoother movement.
There are also some steel Pullman Cars-Combined Panor-
Smokers and Baggage-in the service now. Travellers like them.
They have plenty of elbow room and they glide over the rails.
The Sleeping Cars are coming. Some four hundred parlor and
sleeping cars will be in use by Summer.
These steel coaches and cars arr the strongest vehicles ever
built for passenger transportation. They are fire proof break
proof and bend proof. They represent the climax of safety and
the perfection of comfort in railroad travel.
The Pennsylvania Railroad has always been the leader in all
manner of improved equipment as well as in all methods of making
their patrons more comfortable. This is why it is known and
honored as The Standard Railroad of America.

about the effect of the tariff reduc-

Now, only slight glance at these
statistics, imperfect and misleading as
they are, would have indicated that
these reductions were in most cases
so small as to have no value to the
public, that full third of the num-

like pig iron. scrap iron, tonnage

has any commercial significance of

schedule, where reductions were most

FAILED III CLAIM
$4,000 REWARD
Insurance Combine ThWarted in Its
Efforts to Discredit the Strong
est Mutual Company in West

The efforts of the San Francisco
combine to oppose everything i'll COM
petition to it contains an interesting
story.
Their opposition has been centered
on the Northwestern Mutual Fire AS
sociation. which by carefully select
ing the most profitable classes of
risks is making its pOlicy-holders a
saving of almost half their insurance
premiums and has built up greater
proportionate cash resources than
the strongest stock companies. This
has forced the combine, against their
liking, to cut their rate on many
classes of preferred risks.
Conducts Campaign of Prejudice
A vigorous campaign OF prejudice
has been conducted against the
Northwestern Mutual, and for this
purpose local insurance agents rep
resenting companies belonging TO the
combine have been used extensively.
Many of these local representatives,
who are honorable men, have helped
to circulate the INSTRUMENTATION pac-
ed in their hands without realizing
that there was no truth III the re-
ports given them to circulate. I'm
suspecting local newspapers nave al
so been used to a considerable eX-
tent. without realizing that they were
doing an injustice to their subscrib-
ers. Among the most prominent false
statements are the following four
statements:
First-That all policies issued by
| the Northwestern Mutual carry an as
sessment liability.
Second-That the company not
having subscribed capital does not
| furnish it's policy-holders good indem-
nifty.
Third-That mutual companies as
good as the Northwestern are contin-
ually failing.
Fourth-That there are many times
as many failures of mutual compan-
| les as of stock companies.
Reward offered
The management of the Northwest
ern offered a reward of $1,000 for
proof of any one of these statements
| in the following order
First-$1 900 to any one who will
prove that our policies are not abb
solutely worcestershire.
Second-S1 900 to any one who will
prove that this company has not more
actual cash resources in proportion
to the amount needed to carry all its
policies to expiration than the ten
: largest stock companies in the Unit
| ed States, including all their subscrib-
ed capital and surplus as based on
| the past nine years experience. &,
Aberdeen herald. [volume] (Aberdeen, Chehalis County, W.T.) 1886-1917, 1910-10-13

Third-$1,O 900 to any one who will
show the failure of a single mutual
fire insurance company in all Ameri
can history after it had reached the
age, size, strength and record of this
company.
Fourth-$1 900 to any one who will
prove that there have not been so
per cent more failures of stock COM
panies during the past forty years in
proportion to the number doing bust
ness than there have been failure Of
mutual companies.
This offer was mailed during the.
month of August to every insurance
office and agent on the Pacific coast
so far as addresses could be obtained
also the Coast Review, the leading,
organ for the campaign. The presi-
dents of the five largest banks in
Seattle were named as judges and
time was given to October LIST for
proof to be filed but no one filed any
proof This would surely have been
easy money had there been any truth
whatever in their statements.
Concede All to Northwestern.
BY failing to claim the rewards Of
fered, the opposition has conceded:
First-That the policies of the
Northwestern are paid up and non
asSessable.
Second-That these policies are
backed by more cash resources in
proportion than the ten largest stock
companies in the United States.
Third-That of the more than two
thousand fire insurance companies
that have failed in the United States
no mutual company ever failed after
having attained the size, strength
and record of the Northwestern.
Fourth-That there have been 50
per cent. more failures in proportion
to numDer among stock companies
than among mutual companies.
With such showing of strength
as conceded by its competitors, and
with its large cash dividends return
ed to policy-hoders, the property own
er whose property is up to the re-
quired Standard of the Northwestern
will not be slow in choosing between
this company and the San Francisco
combine.

WASH THAT ITCH AWAY

1t is said that there are certain
springs in Europe that give relief and
cure to Eczema and other skin dis
eases. If you knew that by washing
in these waters you could be relieved
from that awful itch, wouldn't you
make every effort to take trip to
Europe at once? Would yon not be
willing to spend your last cent to find
the cure?
pu. you need not leave home for
these distant springs. Relief is right
here in your own home town!
A simple wash of Oil of Winter
green, Thymol and other ingredients
as compounded only in d. d. ID. Pre-
scription will bring instant relief to
that terrible burning itch, and leave
the skin as smooth and healthy as
that of child.

at least a 25-cent hottie today. We as
sure you of instant relief.
