The assoclalfon BUILDING NOT TO BURN Do wc build to BURN? - The frightful fire waste of tins country lias often caused such a question. Much lins been accomplished toward im proved conditions, but in many instances there is a woeful lack of foresight in pro viding adequate, defenses against fire, espc chilly in the cbiislruction of buildings for '.' mercantile" and industrial use, hospitals, schools, hotels and other structures where large numbers of people are boused. ' There are numerous activities, main "lained by the Stock Fire Insurance coin-. v ' panics, wb'ieh aim for a better day when i America shall consistently build NOT TO ' BURN. '.! . llcltcr Building Practice ', One pi l!tosc activities is the Committee on Construction of Buildings of the National Board of Fire Underwriters, which assem bles the best available information on proper building methods. For many years it has been the leading clearing house of informa tion in safety construction. The information in its possession is based upon the latest scientific and engineering . fuels and is supported by more than fifty years experience in organized fire preven ' tion ,by the 239 Stock Fire Insurance comfianies which transact the great bulk of the fire insurance business. , municipal Codes j'Few indeed arc the municipal building codes that 'have not used in w hole or in :' '. j)art the information and services of the .' (.Department of Building Construction. This department has constantly worked for many years in co-operation with officials and others in authority in the interest of safely construction. Better construction retards fire waste and contributes to the consequent decline in the average cost of fire insurance.

Lately we have been checking over some i nstirance with people who thought they had ample protection , against fire. Several of them were shown where they would suffer a big loss they had insurance but didn't have enough. . This agency is making quite a reputa tion among its clients for thorough fire underwriting.
