BERKELEY CONFLAGRATION

Fifty Of the finest residential blocks in Berkeley

a monument to the confagration.

rOyed without any insurance and the actual losses in
this conflagratiOn will reach the original estimate of
over $10,000000.
The insurance carried approximately only so per
cent of the property value nearly all dwelling owners
everywhere have overlooked the increase values during
the last few years and most instances are very much
under-insured.
The Berkeley fire gives another forcefu illustration
of necessity of fire prevention and fire protection

HAVE YOU A REMINDER

If you went out to buy automobile, pair OF Shoes

learned from experience basis for comparison IN con-
sidering the merits of the different articles.
But when it comes to investing money, how many
people have knowledge of the actual merits OF the
various proportions under consideration. The impulse
veness of the average American which leads him to take
snap judgement on such questions has made this country
the mecca for stock swndlers and artists
of every description.
If it were not for the tremendous earning power OF
our people, the hundreds of millions of dollars which
they give up annually for worthless securities would
make disastrous inroads upon the wealth of the nation
AS is the effects Of those losses are keen felt by the
parties interested

the merits Of different Investments 1t is out of his line
