NEVER OUT

In the ancient Forum in
Rome are ruin of the celebrated
Temple of Vesta, the Goddess
Of Fire, worshipped by the Ro.
mans in olden times.
In those days, 1900 years
before the discovery of the lu-
offer match, the care Of fire was
with great ceremony, KEEP t
burning in the Temple of Vesta
and it was never out,
1t has taken these 1000
years to produce a fire insur-
ance company whose world
wide business is 50 large that
the fires for which it is paying
are NEVER OUT.
Nineteen nine was simply
an average YEAR but, because
of lis vast business, the Royal
Insurance Company, Limited,
incurred losses at the rate of
one every 8 minutes and 80 sec
onds the whole year round.
This means that before one
fl e is put out a new one starts
somewhere else in property in
sured in the Royal. In other
words,
The Royals Fires Gre Never Out
In 1909 the Royal" issued
1886 new fire policies and re-
newels every working day.
Our business h helped to
make that record.
We want to beat the re-
cord this year and should much
appreciate u line from you.
THIS AGENCY REPRE-
SEMTS THE ROYAL" I'll
is the Leading Fire Company
Of the World, and we have al
ways found that it gives its
policy holders a square deal.

cotton raising profitable, and 1t soon

body whiched to sell at any price.
Commission houses were filled with
Istop-loss buying orders.
Individual short sellers covered at
a great sacrifice. There also was a
volume of outside buying such as is
not ofen equalled. Profit taking by
holders gave the market few tenn

huge that the brokerage orders were
filled very unsatisfactory as rule.
The decrease of 100000 bushels in
the worlds visible supply was taken
some notice of, although chiefly as
bearing some relation to the acute sit.
uation in the American northwest.
