But if the flames destroyed your business rec ords, you would find yourself in a serious predicament. You will see. If i you examine your Insurance contract, that you must present detailed proof of your losses and to do this, you must produce for examination all books of account, bills, Invoices, and I other vouchers. If you can not pro duce these records, you may be un able to collect any Insurance. 1 "Such contingencies must be taken Into account.
