How English Insurance Companies
Keep Tab on the Swindlers.
There is mutual understanding be-
tween all the first class insurance Of
fees in England that they should warn
each other of customer whose con-
duct is suspicious, and such warning
is conveyed in a very simple yet effec-
tive way.
Each company has number Of cards
printed. These are deeply edged in
black, the center of the card bearing
the name of the company which issues
it. When company has suspicious
regarding customer one Of it's officers
takes number of these cards, writes
on the reverse side the name and adj
dress, or different names and addresses
In some cases, of the suspected man
and sends around the cards to the 9TH
er Offices.
These cards are regarded as absolute
" confidential, and they are never sent
around till the company which issues
them has, through the staff Of inquiry
officers always kept for such purposes,
found strong evidence against the men
whose names they bear.
Each company keeps book regu-
larry posted with these cards In it, and
the book is more frequently consulted
than the general public would imagine.
Many Of these volumes of black edged
warnings are bulky ones.
The aliases and changes OF residence
Of each suspicious customer are care
fully noted in the book, and 1t is COM
puted that these cards save the COM
panies thousands Of pounds year.
Salvage companies also issue these
insurance warnings" Whenever a
salvage officer notes the slightest sus-
picious circumstance amid the ruins Of
