THE FIRST INSURANCE POLICY
i The first insurance policy was
taken out in 15 83 when sixteen mer
chants gambled on the life of one of
their number for a year. The man
paid a premium of $160 on a $2,000
policy. At the end of the year the
i$160 was divided among them. For
many years after that insurance was
just a gamble and all one-year con
tracts. Then it began to stretch to
two and three-year contracts, but a
policy had no cash value. In 1769
the first mortality table was built
from records obtained from the mil
itia and naturally the mortality was
high.

ceived word that he was the holder
of the winning ticket in a draw at
"Whitby for a 193/3 Plymouth coach.
The car has since arrived and Mr.
Campbell we understand, has lost
no time in selling it and turning his
good luck into cash. Those who
keep track of these things say this
is the fifth automobile that has been
won in this fashion by Goderich
residents over a period of years.

the gentlemen who ordered the work
who in turn refused payment, be
cause, he said, the job had not been
done. Examinations followed and
Mr Frost learned to his sorrow that
he was supposed to have been work
ing at the cairn on the London Rd.;
instead of the Huron Road. Now the
Frosts are looking for some one to
pay for the work on the wrong cairn.
