"We are not only willing, but have been anxious all along, to pay every cent we Justly owe under our policies lit 'Frisco, even If it tskes the last (P'llnr we have, and we have never had eriy other Idea and never will.

Ready to Meet Claims, “The Atlsnta-Blrmlngham Is now, nn'l has been, ready to meet every claimant In 'Frisco and pay them every dollar tlmt Is due them under our con tract, for even where liability Is que* ihumble we have been ready and will ing at all times to settle on a reason' able compromise and avoid litigation which Is In line with our previous his tory os a company."
