H O R L ICK'S RACINE, WISCONSIN Stock Fire Insurance and National Prosperity That American business is sound is witnessed by the huge construction program which marks this year 1930. Billions of dollars are being invested , by public utilities and railroads; by municipal, state and federal govern- ' ments in public buildings,, plants, bridges and highways;; by private in terests serving the; public iii a large way. ' Improvements, extensions and new projects are the order of the day! Prosperity and credit, in this country cannot long be jarred by any specu lative flurry. A Wall of Defense One major reason for this is the pro tection afforded by insurance. Stock Fire Insurance alone provides a cov erage of around 150 billion dollars, thus setting up a wall of defense for industry and property that no adver sity can seriously harm. Without the support of Stock Fire Insurance the billions for new enter prises and replacements could not be spent. Business would undertake no such pretentious program without the stabilization, the protection and the indemnity which Stock Fire Insurance makes possible. Yet consistently, through the last twenty years, the cost of this basic commercial necessity has declined. iStoc:k fine insuhanc.e i com i'a niks auk kki'kksicmtkd 1y capable agents in youk coma! unity TtH E NATIONAL BOARD OF FIRE UNDERWRITERS 85 John Street, New York A NATIONAL ORGANIZATION OF ' STOCK KIHB INHtllUNCE COM I'A NIKS LSTAFIUSHKD IN 1866 " , and Mr. and Mrs.1 Robert H'awkes were Baker visitors last Sunday.
