A Personal Question
* Last year the nation’s fire loss was- in the neighborhood of $1 billion— a sum equal to the total personal income of all the people in New Hampshire- This proves the nation’s continuing need for the most effective possibe fire prevention work.
It also proves something else- No one’s home and property is immune from fire. No one knows where fire will Strike next. But we do know that every day of the year an average of 800 homes will suffer a fire—and anyone s home may be among them. So here’s a tremendously important personal question: Are your home and its contents - adequately insured?
If they are, you are to be congratulated—for you are one of a wise and foresighted minority. But don t say Yes to that question without doing some serious thinking and investigating- Since the end of World War II, tne cost of everything—including construction—has shown big ln; creases. As a general rule of thumb, you can figure that values have about ddkibled, which is simply another way of saying that the dollar has lost half its purchasing power. So the moral is plain: Iasurance policies which met your needs some years ago are going to look mighty small if your property burns today.
The solution to this problem has twb main steps. First, make a thorough-going inventory of your home and its contents, and really find out what it would cost to replace them. The chances are you’ll be surprised Then see your local fire insurance agent He knows how to give you the coverage you should have at minimum cost.
