lnxurnnce protection should be
complete
not patchy.
You don’t buy half an umbrella
or one boot — or roof only one
room of your house.
The primary purpose of insur­
ance is to worry-proof your life.
You chip a minor sum into a
kitty each year to protect your­
self against major losses by fire,
accidents, law suits, theft, etc.
So make it your business to
protect yourself A IJ . OVER,

It is our
