From where I sit ... JyJoe Marsh
As a Matter of Fact...
Out of alt the newspaper and
, magazine columns I read, (lie one!)
I enjoy most are those that pack in
a whole lot of facta unrelated
facta, but each one an interesting
bit of information in itself.
These columns go something like
this: "Did you know that hump
back whales are addicted to snor
ing? That bees have been broil with
red, brown, and buff -color eyes?
"Did you know that lead can bo
converted to gold at a cost of
$1,000,000 an ounce? That a 655
pound fat girl went on a diet and
lost 401 pounds in 12 months? That
a chrysanthemum has been devel
oped that smells like a violet?"
From where 1 ait, maybe I'm a
kind of "Johnny-one-note." My own
columns always seem to revolve
around one idea a plea for us to
make sure we respect the other fol-.
low's rights like the right to vote
for your own choice or the right to
enjoy a glass of beer now and then.
I may not be in style, but I believe
my one fact is worth repeating
and remembering!

After nearly every major
fire you've heard or read
that the owner "suffered a
loss." In many cases this is
absolutely true. Especially
where the owner doesn't
have enough insurance. The
financial jolt undoubtedly
produces mental anguish.
But those owners who fol
low our sincere insurance
recommendations do NOT
"suffer a loss". They may
may have a claim, but they
arc spared any suffering.
How? By first carrying
adequate insurance. Our job
is to HELP them determine
just how much that should
he. And to help them find
the exact policies which
fully protect their property.
Second, by having our ex
perienced counsel in pre
paring their claims, and in
seeing that they are settled
as promptly as possible.
The same PERSONAL
IZED SERVICE is available
to you. To prevent "suffer
