What About It?

EVERY intelligent property owner
understands that building that would
have cost $1,000 to erect in 1914 would
cost from $4,000 to $4,000 in 1919,
with a mighty slim chance Of getting it
erected even at the higher figures, ow-
ing to the scarcity of material and la
Dor. 1t is a fact that many dwellings
in this town and all over the country
are insured for practically the same
amount today as in 1914, and If one Of
that kind should be burned the owner
would realize when he undertook to
rebuild, that his insurance as compar-
ed to the cost Of rebuilding amounted
to practically nothing. The same con-
dition applies to practically all other
classes of property. What about you,
Mister? Are you adequately insured?
If you are NOT, don't you think that
good business sense would tell you that
you should increase your protection?
