MAN’S SEVEN MISTAKES
eighing
^yfouv~~^
In your building every fire danger, every un
protected opening and each protective device,
is measured against known standards and
practical experience.
Your insurance rate reflects your fire danger
as clooely as human minds can judge a
future event
It may be possible for you to make changes
or improve your fire protection, thereby de
serving a lower rate. In any case you will
need the services of an experienced stock
fire insurance agent.

THE INSURANCE MAN

M an’s im perfections lead him to m ake many mistakes
in life, and the pointing out of these frailties has engaged
the attention of philosophers and reform ers of all ages. A
recent w riter enum erates w hat he considers to be the seven
greatest m istakes of man, as follows:
1. The delusion th at individual advancem ent is made
by crushing others down.
2. The tendency to worry about things th a t cannot be
changed or corrected.
3. Insisting th at a thing is impossible because we our
selves cannot accomplish it.
4. Refusing to set aside trivial preferences in order th at
im portantNthings may be accomplished.
5. Neglecting the developm ent and refinem ent of the
mind by not acquiring the habit of reading.
6. A ttem pting to compel other persons to believe and
live as we do.
7. Failure to establish the habit of saving money.
This appears to be a pretty fa ir diagnosis of w hat is the
m atter with us, and eveiyone might profitably check up
on himself in the light of these suggestions.
