What Everybody Should Know

That fire is treacherous. When
properly handled it is a good ser
want, but in the hands Of a careless
person, it becomes a most cruel mas
ter.
The fire hazards surround you,
and only the utmost vigilance will
prevent it's destroying life and prop
erty.
Insurance rates oWifiif-s"comc down
when people awaken to the necessity
of fire prevention, and remove condi-
tions that cause fires,
That every time the second hand
of the clocks marks a minute, a fire
is occurring somewhere in the United
States.
That five schools Or colleges fall
victims to the fire demon each day Of
the week.
That community cooperation is
the best aid to fire prevention. Do
your share towards keeping fire out
Of your community.
Fire losses represent fire tax.
Your share of the burden is approx
mately three dollas. This tax falls
on every man, woman and child in the
United States. Cut down the tax
by preventing fires.
An insurance company is simply a
collecting and distributing agency.
It collects from the many for distri-
button among the few who suffer
fire losses. Reduction in the destruc-
ton of property will bring about a
corresponding decrease in fire insu-
rance premiums.
