age,and pay (exclulive of tho carriage) anc p(C
cent, on the v .lue, as infurancr, and for which,
he will receive a receipt. Thus, for iriftance. '
if he ellimates his package at one dollar, he will'*'
pay one cent, and it at one hundred dollars, h«,
will pay one dollar insurance, and in ftfce pr*>
portion for packages of any other value-
Very few persons it is presumed, will dislike
his regulation 1 it will however, be optionable
with every one to avail himfrlf of tHj I'ecurity

mitted to the care of intelligent sober and obli
ging drivers. The pi oprietors themselves live
at \ire different towns and villages whert the

to render the SWIFT-SURE the very belt line
