Are your finances in such shape that an
unexpected call for $100 or $1000 would
not inconvenience you? Or would such
a call embarass you?
If you own a car such a call may come
today tomorrow it's liable to come
at any time . . . for who knows when
that auto smash-up will come. Every
day it comes to hundreds of people
some have never had an accident be
fore in 20 years of driving.
There is no need to fear financial strain
in the event of property damage, collis
ian and claims for personal injury if
(and if is a big word) you carry Auto
Insurance with us. Act today and elim
inate that word "If." Don't put it off
but put Auto Insurance on your car to-'
day. "
