WAS IT INSURED !?

Everybody asks this question after a
fire. The next question, which is just
as important, "What Company" no
body asks.
The property owners of America pay
annually three million dollars in pre-
miums for fire insurance, but not one
in ten Of them knows even the name OF
the Company whose policy may be his
only asset in case of disaster. DO YOU
know? If not, what an astonishing
state of affairs for an enlightened, bus
iness-like American citizen.
If you do know the NAME of the
Company, what do you know of its
standing or its reputation for fair deal
