which ultimately would necessitate an
advance in rates, a letter from the
AUDITORS department of the state of
Iowa says that this is not the case.
The letter says, THE old policy hold
ers are not put in class by them
selves" 1t explains that many of
these old policies will lapse and 9TH
ers will be exchanged for the new le-
gal reserve policies, and that the
great fund back of the decreasing
number of old policies will furnish

expense OF the legal reserve branch OF
the company instead of being com
! PEELED to carry themselves. Accord
ing to this you are perfectly safe in
continuing your old policies.
