ONE POLICY To.
f. GUARD AUTOS

Washington motorists are among
the first in the country to nave
m opportunity to have all kinds of
automobile insurancSe-fire. theft
liability. property damage. collision,
tornado and others-written into
. single policy.
This full coverage is offered by
the Great National Insurance Com
pany. a local concern incorporated
under the laws OF the District OF
Columbia and financed and differed
by Washington men.
This simplified form of insurance
Is offered in lieu of the two pol
icies usually required in the case
of several forms of coverage. IL
is the custom generally to separate
the policies covering fire and theft
from other forms.
Evidence of the appeal OF this
new venture in the local field is
seen in the keen reception given
1t by motorists.
According to officials Of the
Great National. but one other COM
pany in the country is writing TINS
kind of policy and that organiza-
ton is not represented in Washing
ton insurance circles. The argu-
ment advanced in taVor Oh IIIs
method is that it is less complicated
and more readily understood by the
insured who is able to tell just
where he stands in the event of
any form Of misfortune involving
his car.
The Great National is entirely
a local concern. 1t is strong finan-
cially and owned by more than 200
Washington stockholders. These in
