Fire Prevention
We should all strive to reduce our fire waste,
but it is impossible to prevent all "fires, therefore'
insurance is a necessity and prevention a duty.

An EverjfeDay Disaster
Though the front1 page headlines will tell you
nothing about it, this country today sustained a
tremendous disaster.
Property valued at $l,16(i,744.44 was wiped out
and 41 persons lost their lives by fire. The
death - dealing destruction proceeded continuously
throughout the 24 hours. Every hour $61,115.60
every minute $1,018.59 every second" $1697 was
wiped out. The fact that a similar disaster oc
curred yesterday and another will occur tomorrow
and every day of the coming year, does not make
the event less terrible. Yet that is what happens
an annual lire loss in this country of $535,372,782.
This tremendous fire-loss is a national waste.
A national waste is a national problem. It is to
locus attention on this problem that the present
week is being observed throughout the country as
National Fire Prevention Week.
