Are the assets of the Fire Insurance Companies represented

Why buy insurance in companies that are questionable any 1
more than you would deposit your savings in a bank that you
were not sure of?
It costs no more for absolute protection than you will pay
for the doubtful. Investigate the resources and especially the
reserve of the company that is going to agTec to pay you in
case of loss by fire. You are paying for full protection. Get it.

INSURANCE IT
ALL INCLUSIVE
Some Losses Cannot Be Made
Good After Blaze Is
Over
Although fire insurance t one of
the great precautionary measures that
tan he taken to prevent huge fire
losses. It can not and does not com
pletely cover all losses sustained, ac
cording to fire insurance -men. who
are taking an active Interest In l ire
Prevention Week.
VOI OMPIJ I I PR ' I EH I ION.
"Fire insurance is a great precau
tion against heavy losses or losses of
any kind." said one of the Ogden fire
Insurance agents this morning. "How
vet It i ;m not be considered complete
precaution In no case can all the
losses he offset fire insurance It
will provide pment for the actual
property Ion sustained but that will
not offset the loss of time, of labor
and of money to renew business to re
nen home, to upbuild n business of
any kind.
M l FRE EXTION.
"Combined with fire insurance, as
the foial safeguard against complete
tin loss, there should also be fire pre
vention work LJoth work hand In
hand for the safety of the people. At
linio when building material is high.
.lien labor is nonf (no plentiful, when
buildings are needed, there seems to
be 'even more reason than eer to pre-r-'U
fire losses Ogden has had a
splendid record during the past nine
months, it would be well to continue
improve thnt record with minimum
. 'msscs for the benefit of the entire

tention to Fire Prevention Week.
The chief asserted that the local
board of commissioners has done e -erylhing
to equip the Salt Lake fire
department to the highest possible
standard, but that the co-operation of
all citizens is necessary to pliminute
the losses In life and property dufe to
fires.

however, should not be confined to one

In witness whereof 1 have hereunto set my hand and
