Good Faith

Across the face of every policy we issue is the

unwritten endorsement--Good Faith.


Good Faith is the most precious element in all

human association, the priceless foundation of

every worthy business.


Without Good Faith, the clearest contract is but

a scrap of paper: with it, a scrap of paper be-

comes a bond.


Good Faith makes Individuals honorable, Cor-

porations generous, Nations great.


To be just is not enough--Good Faith is better

than its word, standing behind the spirit as well

as the letter of its agreements.


Insurance based only on the written contract

gives literally what is paid for--a minimum.


Insurance written and interpreted in Good Faith

gives more than is bargained for--generous and

understanding treatment.


Behind the policy of a corporation stand the

men who direct its destiny. When the guiding

principle of these men is Good Faith, the cor-

poration becomes an instrument of human

betterment.


The corporation whose policy is Good Faith

gives the lie to the saying that corporations have

no souls.


BEHIND EVERY METROPOLITAN POLICY

STANDS THE MASTER POLICY--GOOD

FAITH.

J. SCOFIELD ROWE, President.

A Sound and Fair Basis

for writing

Check Alteration and Forgery

Insurance


The recognition of preperred risks has

become a fundamental principle in the

writing of all forms of insurance. Users

of loss-preventive measures are entitled

to discounts in proportion to the degree

of prevention they employ.


The Metropolitan Casualty Insurance Co.

accordingly offers to users of approved

preventive devices, regardless of make, a

graduated scale of discounts from base

rates for Check Alteration and Forgery

Insurance.


Discounts are Substantial

depending upon the effectiveness of the

devices used.


The Metropolitan was the FIRST Com-

pany to give its Preferred Risks these

discounts. The plan, introduced in 1924,

has demonstrated its right to careful

consideration on the part of check

users everywhere and has been accorded

universal approval.
