Putting It
Off?
That's a habit with most of us and
when it comes to insurance too many
people put it off until the accident hap
pens. The old saying goes "No use
locking the door after the horse is
gone." An ounce of Auto Insurance be
fore the accident is worth a pound after
you are in the hospital and your car is
smashed up.
Figure the cost of insula nee. against
the worth of your car, the other fel
low's property and any judgment for
personal injury. You will readily see
that the small cost of Auto Insurance is
neglible when compared with the large
sums at stake.
There is no need to put it off now. Our
installment plan opens the way for all
the payments are extended over a
period of months come in let us ex
plain and hy all means DO IT NOW!
