CUT PRICES
AND
REDUCED RATES
SHOULD BE YOUR LAST CONSIDERATION
IN PURCHASING INSURANCE . . . WHY?
Simply because the old law of
busineeg balance dooBn't give
something ior nothing! You get
exactly what you pay for
whether It's insurance or com
modlUet. Never yet .... In our many years of insurance
experience .... have we found It good business
practice to put price above quality.
If we could not guarantee the
quality of an Insurance policy
we would prefer to Join the ranks
of the unemployed and go on
relief.

basements In this and other areas'
as possible, but the number of
calls far exceeded the available!
pumping equipment and manpower.
The city's storm sewers were
still heavily loaded at noon, Mul- i
11ns said, mainly due to back-!
pressure from the Willamette!
River which slowed the rate of;
runoff. Surface water will be slow
draining until the river level goes j
down.
Mulllns reported little difficulty i
with back-pressure In the sewers j
forcing manhole coven loose, but
said this pressure had resulted in
water backing Into . many base
ments which were otherwise free!
from the flood.
