Hail Insurance at Actual Cost The Ftoriits Review in a recent issue, arises to remarkthat the Florists Hail Association has never advertisedits advantages in such a way as to bring them to theattention of the entire body of the trade. Inasmuch asthis is a mild criticism of the policy adopted by the. The late H. A. Jahn board of directors of the F. H. A., a few words ofexplanation may be necessary. The F. H. A. is an association which is purely mutual,and is operated without profit to any one, because in-surance is effected at actual cost. Allow me to ask, forexample, if the editor of The Review were altruisticenough to hand out bis advertisements without profit,how much money would he be willing to appropriate toadvertise the fact? To my mind, the directors of the F. H. A. haveadopted a wise policy in using the money placed in theirtrust, for the benefit of F. H. A. members, rather thanuse it in inducing others to share the benefits whichothers have been wise enough to secure. Equitable adjustments, prompt payment of losses andmethods of promotion that have never conflicted withthe insurance laws of any State have given exceedinglysatisfactory results. John G. E
