SANITARY GROCERY, PHONES 8385 “The Store That Pleases” S By Lo A forgotten bit of Ruskin' should be hanging over the door of every commercial establishment in America: “There is hardly anything in the world that i someé man ¢dn not make a little worse and sell a little cheaper, and the people who consider price only are this man's lawful prey.” That slogan applies to all business-—including in- surance. By removing some of the factors devised to keep insurance “safe,” a cheaper grade of policy can be obtained. How hmuch it will cost before it expires, or how much will be obtained in the event of sudden need, is always problematical. i 1t is axiomatic that insurance ¢an only bé sold for less money by removing the factors of safety— and it is to secure safety that most. people insure.
