This Did Mark TwUin's Jumping Frog Really Tump? How Can They Do It? You motorists who know the satisfaction and peace of mind that auto insurance gives you may well wonder how so many cars can be driven around the streets and on the highways when no insurance is carried on them. When you drive a car some one is assuming a lot of liabil ity if your own car is damaged some one pays if the other fel lows car or property is damaged some one pays if you or some one else is injured some one has to pay the doctor. Stop and think isn't it better to have a partner who will as sume all this responsibility for your own sake and out of consid eration for the other fellow?
