Sections3933.01to3933.03, inclusive, of the Revised Code do not prevent the payment to an authorized officer, agent, or solicitor of such company, association, or partnership of commissions at customary rates on policies or contracts of insurance effected through him by which he himself is insured, provided such officer, agent, or solicitor holds himself out as such and has been engaged in such business in good faith for a period of six months prior to any such payment. Such sections do not prohibit a mutual fire insurance company from paying dividends to policyholders at any time after such dividends have been earned.
