Are You a
PROHIBIT?

Nothing but accurate foreknowl-
edge Of the future can justify an
employer in failing to protect
himself against loss by defalca-
ton. Losses of this kind always
occur where least expected. And
the general high standard OF hon
esty among employees does not
alter the fact that this Company
alone deals with an average OF
eight defalcations daily.
What real assurance have you
that you will not suffer from a loss
Of this character? Compared with

fortune, the cost of guarding
against it is insignificant. Bond
