"Full of miserif is the mind anjcioiis ahotit the 

 future. "—SEXECA. 



"Knowledge is the antidote to fear." 



EMERSON. 



LTHOUGH a span of nearly 2,000 years separates the periods in which lived 

 the men who wrote the above words, similar thoughts are discernible in both 

 quotations. 



Seneca, the famous Roman orator and philosopher, were he living to-day, would 

 doubtless be an enthusiastic advocate of Insurance and Assurance, for the many ups 

 and downs he experienced would forcibly have demonstrated to him the wisdom o{ 

 relieving his mind of anxiety in respect to the future. It is reasonable to assume, 

 too, that Emerson must have realised that the man with the knowledge that his risks 

 were covered by Insurance and Assurance possessed the antidote to fear for the future. 



Men and women to-day are faced with responsibilities greater than those of any 

 previous period, and therefore the need for Insurance is greater. 



Legal liabilities ; risk of loss or damage of personal property by fire or theft ; risk of 

 personal accident necessitating abstention from business (one person in every seven 

 meets with an accident each year) ; the responsibilities in respect to the education of 

 and monetary provision for children ; the wisdom of providing for retirement ; and the 

 necessity of securing adequate funds for wife and family or dependents in case of 

 death, are all matters which call for the serious consideration of thoughtful people. 



The "British Dominions'' issues a series of policies at attractive rates, wide in scope, 

 generous in terms, and designed to meet the needs of all classes under modern con- 

 ditions. Among the series maybe mentioned the "All-in" Policy for Householders, 

 House Owners, Office Renters, Schools and Boarding-houses ; the 1920 Empire 

 Motor Policies for Private Cars, Commercial Vehicles, and Motor Cycles; the Fanners 

 Live Stock, "Compleat" Fire and General Indemnity Policies; House Purchase 

 Policy ; Engineering Policies ; Life and Endowment Assurance Policies ; Abstainers' 

 Life Assurance Policies ; Fire, Burglary, and Employers' Liability Policies, etc. etc.
