Show u DON'T DESTROY BREAD AND BUTTER The spectacular in life generally wins the applause. The commonplace, which corresponds to our bread and butter, is too often overlooked. But without the plodding support of business and industry, spectacular ideas could never bring practical results. No where Js plodding and continuous support of the social structure more strikingly illustrated than in the case of insurance. It stands as the basis of all credit and without its steadying hand, a growing industry or an ambitious am-bitious individual would be left helpless to proceed with a feeling of safety and security. And yet the insurance business ie attacked in a hundred different ways with proposals to tax and restrict it, which, if carried out, vrcald not only ruin insurance but, far worse, would destroy the feeling of security and confidence which insurance passes on to the individual and industry. We should think of these things when wild schemes are proposed which, tend to undermine insurance and thus weaken the foundation of our whole credit structure. In the long run it is the plodders and not the grandstand grand-stand artists who make this world a pleasant and a safe place in which to live. |
