It we were to try in this article j the .
to cover the ground of insurance j Insui
since the first man had the brilliant' and t
idea of thus insuring his fellow man j suraT
in all lines we would have our' has f
hands full with statistics, but suf- Abbt
fice it to say that all agree on the socia
one important and tundamental instit
question of this snbject?namely turec
its value to men, relative to the ^ grow
amount which he has to expend on since
his policies. The insuraece policy
is more than a guarantee of pay- r??
> ment for loss, it is more than a
surety against ruin and failure; it [?|j3
is more than a safeguard for the
fiifiiro nr?/4 of ViAmo*
iutui v auu iii^ iu > cu uixvo av, uuiu\.i % Z$i
it is more than all of this, we say, Njj?
for it is the ground, basic and fun- $|||
damental principal of all progress, fjgi
that the worries of business life ||||
must be lightened and. in every |8B
way lessened, if a man is going to
be able to pay the pries which f|||
success has set on her attainment. |fl|
It is this which appeals most to us, ffesj
the calmness with which an in- j%f?g
sured man can go home feeling SlSj
that his business is safe; and can jagg
rest well on the nights when other wise
his brain would keep turning *
to his work. This leaves him
fresh to rise in the morning ready
to make a larger business career >'ear?
for himself and to have more goods $2>0<
to insure. \Ve think we have made envi?
it clear that gain in commercial nanc
lines, and growth in industrial ways t^ie ^
has been much fostered and bred ^ew
by the insurance companies. In at he
life insurance this has' also been Tl:
true, and the wife and children are storr
now left in good circumstances in inS t
nine cases out of ten, whereas be- b"*
