INSURANCE IS

Protection for ones wife. children

often Is overlooked as one OF the
outstanding benefits of casualty IN

Great National Insurance Company
whose headquarters is in Washing
ton, D. C.
As an advantage to ones family
or to Others for whom one must
provide the necesSaries of life. Mr..
Reid Gala attention to the fact
that casualty insurance has become
not only something beneficial but
an absolute necessity to guard them
against sudden and heavy inroaos
upon the family savings. Partlcu-
larly is this true OF motorists ne
asserts.
Since the father or neither or
enc or more children now drive au.
tomobiles at some time or other
declares Mr.. Reid. "the possibility
Of being implicated in an accident
has increased q hundredfold. Natur-
ally, everyone considers himself a
perfectly capable and safe driver,
but all other drivers are not, so
careful and competent. so that the
danger exists in that way at least.
Then there Is the pedestrian 20

gence is an ever-present source OF

one Of these times when the

pedestrian. Suit for damages is
