BY W. II. INDOE,

Il Is much easier TO sell life Insurance

than Il has, been at any time In the
past.
Every business man knows that the
only safe and sure way that he can make
absolute provision for those dependent
upon him IL by carrying an adequate
amount OF life Insurance.
People generally are beginning TO realize
that there is only one kind Of insurance
that insures, and that Is old line insur-
ance
There was a time. not far distant, when
the average man. unaequainted with the
underlying principles OF legitimate life

FIRES DUE TO CARELESSNESS
Conclusions of New York Factory
Commission which Explored
the Ruins.

That from 80 TO rs per cent Of the dis
astrous fires in New York City and else
where are caused by carelessness. in
Guiding the thoughtless use Of matches
and lighted cigarettes and cigars is one
OF the contentious OF the New York State
Factory Investigating commission, which
submitted It's preliminary report to the
legislature.
One Of the most important recommen-
dations is the abolition OF all cellar bak-
cries in New York City and the regis
tration and licensing OF all establish
ments manufacturing food products. ex-
cept hotels. restaurants and boarding
houses.
The commission finds the inspection
force Is too small. Duplication Of au-
thority between state and local officials
is criticized. and the commission poiE.s
out that few violations OF law are re-
ported and those few are subject to such

constructed OF wire glass, and that auto
matte sprinklers be installed In factory
buildings over ninety fet high In which
wooden floors or trim are used and more
than 800 persons employed above the
seventh floor.
The commission further recommends
that the number OF persons allowed In
factory buildings be limited in proper
ton TO the floor space, allowing thirty-slx
square feet Of floor space a person In
non-fireproof and thirty-two square feet
In hreproof buildings. and Furthermore,
up to the maximum of the first lmita-
ton, in proportion 10 the exit facilities,
allowing fourteen persons for every
eighteen inches OF stairways, additional
people being allowed II there are fire

As to buildings to be erected. the COM
mission recommends that all more than
two stories in height used for factory
purposes where more than twenty-five
people are employed should be fireproof.

Fire Insurance
Policies Should Be
Closely Studied

Alfred C. Kennedy, 600 First National
bank building. representing the Orient IN
surance. company OF Hartford. Conn,
says:
1T Is my conviction that there is moth
ing for which the average business man
pays out his good money that he knows
so little about or seems to care so little
for. more Is the pity. than those agree
ments known as fire insurance policies.
Many insurers seem to rely upon Provi-
dence or tue lawmakers, the companies
themselves or the local agent for the
soundness. accuracy and protection Of an
instrument which may very often be all
that stands between them and bank
ruptcy.
Rely on no man but yourself for the
correctness OF an agreement so valuable
as that policy may be to you. Read your
property for the amount as ordered. see
that its location is properly described,
note the special clauses that attach to
your risk and get deep-seated in your
brain the conditions that you are re-
auired to comply with TO make that pol
icy good when you may need It.
Very many pay insurance as they do
taxes, considering II a necessary evil
and that II is the smart thing TO reduce
said evil as much as possible. and hence
cut down the amount carried. No single
item of expense entering into the con-
duct Of business is more legitimate or
should be paid with greater willingness
than the amount necessary TO protect
you against burdensome loss by fire.
In making application for insurance
on your property there are two points to
be considered. First. the amount 10 be
carried: second. the responsibility.
methods and reputation Of the companies
Omaha daily bee. (Omaha [Neb.]) 187?-1922, 1912-04-28

that you may select. Do not he led
astray by bargain insurance or cut rates,
but get the best in the market.
Insurance is a science. and capital
alone is not sufficient to make a sound
and successful company-it needs eNpe-
rience. good Judgment and a constant
keeping in touch with the situation: 1t
Is not only get business. but get the
right kind Of business. When YOU find
a company that combines with this sort
Of soundness, a practice Of fairness and
liberality in the adjustment OF losses.
you have found a good company to
tie TO"
