The sentences later courts lift from this opinion, ranked by how many decisions quote each — the parts of the opinion doing the work.

““Under such agreement any policies written by the agent upon credit were written at the agent’s own risk as to whether or not the agent could or cohid not collect such premiums. Any extension of credit by the agent without the express authority by the company where the agency agreement requires an accounting, as it does here, is done at the risk of the agent. The agent’s liability is not that of a guarantor but is an original undertaking.””
