C O M n "The paramount duty of fire insur ance" said the report of a State Fire Insurance Commission a few years ago "is to protect communi ties as well as indiyiduals, and only that form of insurance appears ade quate to the task that is fortified by cash assets and conforms to every legal requirement of the states." STOCK FIRE INSURANCE alone maintains countrywide activi ties for the protection of communi ties and individuals, and maintains premium reserves, cash surplus, and invested capital sufficient to meet all demands. . .

You may be sure that the manufacturer knows they are right and that he is willing to stake his reputation on them. You may be confident that you are buying goods that have sold a.nd that would continue ito sell without any advertising at all. For advertising merely lets all of the people know now what considerable numbers would find out by word of mouth ten years from now. 1 ' ' Of course, advertising goes a step farther. Word of mouth hardly ever tells all the uses of a product. It often doesn't give the real reasons for its superiority. Advertising tells people all about a product and the numerous ways in which they can use if. Whatever you buy, therefore, let the advertisements be your guide. When the manufacturer says, "Now we can advertise it " you know that you can safely say, "Xowwe can buy it." 4
