Insuring property is something that should be done with reflection. You don’t want to over-insure—and certainly ycu don’t want to be under-insured. There's a “just right” basis—and the manager of our Insurance Dc- partment knows what it is—and will be glad to go into the details of your policies with you. The laity, of course, cannot be expected to know all about these things as does a student of insurance, But it's our business to kmow—and our pleasure to guide you aright. If you have some policies expiring, or some new protection you should have—let us counsel you.
