WHY NOT?
I CARRY—
A cold day, snow, sleet, icy pavements. Your car skids. Hits the
curb. Crash! There goes a wheel. Or you might get into the
same fix trying to avoid a collision with another car. To which
whims of Fate might be added the possibility of Fire or loss of
your car by Theft.
Therefore, is it not to your advantage, Mr. Motorist to invest a
few dollars in Auto Insurance now, rather than risk the loss of
hundreds of dollars through such incidents as are mentioned
above? Indeed, if you’re of the foresighted type—no second
