Aluminium Cons

producer. yesterday announced
plans for a massive invasion Of
the multi-billion-dollar United
States market for cans.
1t disclosed it has signed a
contract to supply ESQ Stand
ard Oil Co. with at least IS
million and possibly so million
motor oil cans a year.
This is the first contract for
aluminium cans In the history

during the past 20 years, it's
startling to see the changes in
an unadorned statistical table
and frightening to realize how
underinsured are the vast ma
jority Of American homeowners.
There's no doubt that the
overwhelming percentage of
Americas tens of millions of
homeowners are underinsured"
and the underinsurance on the
contents Of homes is horrible"
said our insurance agent when
i telephoned to check on the
general situation. He figures "at
least 30 per cent" do not carry
enough insurance to protect
them against today's replace
ment costs and says that esti-
mate is probably conservative"
Statistics On Fires
The statistics on fires are
shattering.
In the first seven months, fire
losses hit $706 million, the Ma
tional Board estimates, against
1861 million in the same period
Of 1856. Fire losses in 1857 are
heading right through the 81
billion mark-almost certainly
they will establish an all-time
record.
And while we're also spend
ing more for fire insurance than
ever before-we paid $l3 bill
lion in premiums in 1956--the
increase over the past few years
has been picayune. Although
millions of new homes have
gone up since 1852, billions of
dollars have been spent on
home improvements and re-
placement costs have zoomed.
the total amount we're paying
in premiums for straight fire
insurance has risen less than
$50 million.

YOUR
MONEYS WORTH
Most Homes Underinsured
" SYLVIA PORTER

In the spring OF 1850, just
before the Korean war broke
out, my husband and / built
our house in the country.
We have just found out that
if we were to build exactly that
same house today, it would cost
us 27.l0 per cent more.
AS a result, we are calling in
our insurance agent this week
to adjust the amount of fire
and allied insurance we carry
on this property to give us
protection against this upsurge
in replacement costs.
Did you build a house, in say,
1887 for $4,000? II you had to
replace 1t today. that identical
house would cost $4,000.
Did your house cost. say
$4,000 in 1916? 1t would cost
you $4,000 to build now.
Or did you put up a $3S, 900
house just before World War
II? A duplication of it in 1857
would cost 500. 500.
Formula Is Cited
For the first time. a simple
formula for determining cur
rent replacement costs for
homes has been made available
by the F. w. Dodge Corp. the
foremost building information
agency in the country. On the
basis Of construction costs in
cities from coast to coast, it has
worked out national averages
showing what it would cost in
1857 to replace houses originally
built for $4,000 to $4,000 in
any year since 1897.
And while it's scarcely news
to anyone that building costs
have been spiraling upward
