For instance, take muni-' cipality of the township of Cart wright which has only been repre. sented on the Board of Directors a few years; fortunately, however, the gentleman selected to represent that wealthy and prosperous town- ship, and it is one that is inhabited by a progressive and enlightened population, and they have the ut. most and most implicit confidence in him,} and he has the faculty of practically, and in an unosten. tatious manner, of demonstrating to-all and coovincing all interested in fire insurance that The Maple Leaf Company is without a peer as regards reliability and stability. As a result the township of Cart- wright to-day has a far larger list insured in this Company, per capati than in any other municipality in which it transacts insurance, and its immense popularity there is not the least pleasing feature, and much of its great success is attributable to the influence of the local Director, Jas. Parr, Esq., and he is to be con gratulated on thefact that his efforts are highly appreciated by the share. holders of Company.
