Every home, every farm needs a
spring clean-up day.
Four farm buildings will burn
every fiour in 1950 unless farmers
follow safety and fire prevention
rules.
Is This Home?
WHEN you check up, after
a fire, will you find your
insurance too little to
cover the value of your
household furnishings?
It is better to do the check
ing now, before the fire—
and e sure of insurance
sufficient to cover your
loss.
