The Watauga Insurance Agency has expanded Its services to the point where we are taking pic tures of houses in order that we might find out whether a house is over-insured or under-insured. There is no expense to the insurer. At least 2,000 homes—possibly 3,000—will be photographed and pictures sent to the insurance companies which now1 carry the insurance. “Practically aU insurance com panies are asking their agents to perform this ser vice for the insured.” There is not enough time to stop and discuss each picture with the insured. —PAUL Watauga Insurance Agency J.
