necessary to remind him that since then the en

Dear Sir—A few years ago you induced me to
take out an Accident Policy in the Travelers, and
upon your persuasion I have kept it up year by
year, not at all anticipating the possible benefit
to accrue. But I have now to thank you for it,
a* well as for the Company’s check of $353.57 in
payment of my claim for many weeks of disabil
ity, the result of a very painful accident, threat
ening the loss of my right hand. After this ex
perience of how it is “the unexpected xvhich al -
xvays happens." ( shall certainly keep up my
Occident Policy, and I shall not forget the-
promptness of the Company in paying my claim
