It is sound business to insure a continuance of your normal profit—and dividends —during the non-earning period following a fire. The insurance that gives this guarantee is called Business In- terruption (Use and Occu- that follow FIRE pancy) insurance. Ask your Stock Fire Insurance agent to explain it. STOCK FIRE INSURANCE provides and supports many services that reduce the probability of either direct or indirect fire losses, but as long as destruction continues there will be suspended business activities. You should provide this kind of protection.
