prevailed in the summer season but not in the winter firo agent says were all wrong our congenial insurance agent mr thos burkett dropped in the other day to say that when the tribune states that fire insurance rates in stouffville are high he can almost feel anger rising in his hair this veteran insurance man who enjoys a larger patronage than any two ag ents in ontario and york counties may bo right but notwithstanding we believe lower rates could be app lied in stouffville and still leave a handsome profit mr birkett says we enjoy rates as low as many places with a better fire equipment we know that stouffville is favorably rated but we contend that rate3 throughout ontario could be scaled down and that would lower stouff ville below the present tariff it mr burkett wasnt so good natured we would not even suggest lower rates at all but hes congenial and we mean it theatre phono 100 showing each night at 815 saturday and holidays 700 and 900 dont forget the comfort fund at
