PHILOSOPHY # INSURANCE 



' T/Ot/A'O AlEN in the conduct and management of action embrace 

 Y more than they can hold. Stir more than they can quiet. Fly 

 to the end without consideration of the means and degree. . . . 

 Men of age object too much, consult too long, adventure too little, and 

 seldom drive business home to the full period, but content themselves 

 with the mediocrity of success. Certainly It is good to^compound an 

 employment of both ; for that will be good for the present because 

 the virtues cf either age may correct the defects of both."— BACON. 



In the conduct of the business of a great 

 Insurance Company, three qualities are of 

 paramount importance : The wisdom of 

 experience, the spirit of progress, and in- 

 tegrity. 



The wisdom of Bacon's philosophy charac- 

 terises the progress of all great business in- 

 stitutions. But in the case of an Insuremce 

 Company something more is required. To 

 succeed it must possess the absolute confidence 

 of the Public in quite as great a degree as 

 that inspired by the great Joint Stock Banks. 

 In a sense an Insurance Company are the 

 Bankers of the people who do business with 

 them. Its position must be inviolable ; its 

 stability beyond question. 



The remarkable progress of the British 

 Dominions Insurance Company can, among 

 other things, be attributed (firstly) to the 

 virility of its directorate and (secondly) to the 

 extreme caution of its actuarial department in 



assuring that all business is conducted upon 

 absolutely sound principles. 



The " British Dominions" possesses the great 

 advantage of the concentrated experience of 

 the directorates of the several Companies now 

 merged under the above title. 1 hroughout 

 its policy has been to anticipate public needs 

 in respect to insurance. The success of the 

 many special Policies devised to meet the 

 requirements of all classes has amply justified 

 its enterprise and added to its reputation of 

 being the most progressive company for all 

 classes of insurance and assurance. 



Among the special Policies now issued are : 

 The Marriage Policy : Motor Policies : 

 Farmers' Policies : Provision for Children 

 Policy : Endowment Assurance Policies : Em- 

 ployers' Liability Policy : House Purchase 

 Policy: "All-in" Policy for Householders 

 and House-owners : " Pluvius " Weather 

 Policies : Insurances for Women.
