It is too late to insure the title after a flaw has developed; and it will be of no comfort to say: “I have never suffered a loss by reason of a defective title.” Many GOOD titles are attacked, resulting in costly litigation. For one small premium you can place the Sixty Million Dollar capital funds of this Company back of your real estate in- vestment.
