One night William Hardwick's slum-
bers were disturbed by the frantic ring
ing of the telephone.
"Come right downtown" urged an
excited voice. Your stores going up
in smoke"
When Hardwick arrived the fire was
under control, and fifteen minutes later
the "all out" signal was sounded.
II should worry reflected the gro
Ger, after a brief survey of the damage
done. There's about $4,000 worth of
stock destroyed And, as it happens,
carry just $4,000 worth of insurance"
And, leaving one of his clerks to watch
the premises, Hardwick went back to
bed
Now, then, Mr.. HardWick," said the
adjuster two Gays later, my estimate
agrees with yours. Six thousand dol
lars covers all the damage done. That
means that we owe you $4,000"
Whats that?" demanded Hardwick,
lnOlSuduLly- 4Ou owe me $4,OUo
What bunco game is this? Why don't
you owe me $4,000, the face OF my pol
icy?"
Because of the so per cent co-insur-
ance clause" explained the adjuster,
and he indicated a paragraph In the
policy which the grocer had so care
fully guarded.
"This clause provides that we shall
be liable for no greater proportion of
the loss than the sum insured bears to
so per cent of the cash value of the
property insured Your stock is, or
was, worth $4,000 Had you carried
5000 insurance we would have paid
you your loss in full-that is, up to
$1,000. But as it is, l repeat that we
owe you but $500. If, however, the
loss had been total we would have had
to pay you $4,000, the amount of your
policy. This misunderstanding has
arisen, Mr.. Hardwick, merely because
you have never taken the time to thor
oughly read and adjust your policy.
