A Scrap
Paper

Ut Paper
Have you ever considered
what an important part is
played in business by mere
scraps of paper?
Most of Andrew Car
negie's fortune was mere
scraps of paper-U. S. steel
bonds.
Your real estate is repre-
scented, so far as it's CONNER
cial value is concerned, by
the deeds in your safe and
deeds are scraps of paper.
\ The very money you have
in your pocket is for the most
part scraps of paper.
\ The fire insurance policies
which are supposed. to pro-
tect you against loss from
fire, is a scrap of paper.
And unless that policy is
correctly written, a scrap of
paper may be all it amounts
to.
Practically all fire insur-
ance companies today are
able and ready to pay their
losses; provided those losses
may be paid in accordance
with the policies.
OF course, no fire insur-
ance company is allowed by
law to pay losses that are not
covered in the policies.
tits Of highest Importance,
if you carry any fire insur-
ance at all, that your policies
be written to fully cover
all possible losses.
The corps of insurance ex-
perts in the Trustees System
Insurance Department, head
ed by James H. Awtrey,
write for their clients the
most comprehensive fire in
surance policies.
After the fire is a poor
time to find out what kind of
policies you have.
Mr.. Awtrey will be glad
to examine your property
and your policies and advise
you Of his findings.
