DEPEND ON HOPE
OR COUNT ON HELP?

If fire, windstorm or theft should
strike your home if a split
second accident should involve you
in law suit-can you depend on
immediate financial and legal help?
Or will you rely on the hope that
you can somehow meet the situa-
tion?
Talk with anyone who has faced
any of these situations (and there
are thousands in Delaware alone)
and you will know why it pays to
be protected "all around" by ade-
quate insurance.
c. Edgar Wood, General Agent, can
show you how little il costs to get
complete insurance coverage
against fire, auto. accidents, ship
ment losses and many other un-
fOreseen events. Call 8097 or 8O9S
or stop in at 103 Church Avenue.
