We're in the business of selling
insurance. But if selling insurance
were all we did we wouldn’t be doing
you much of a service.
So when you contact us about a
policy for your home, office, or plant,
we come looking for trouble. We look
for the possibilities of fire or accident
or theft or any other contingencies
that could cause your rates to be high.
And when we find problems, we
recommend that you correct them.
If you do, you'll not only save yourself
potential trouble, you'll qualify for a
much better insurance rate. Of
course we don’t make as much money
that way, but at Watson our
philosophy is to seek out long range
business relationships.
