NEW BRITAIN DAILY HERALD, MONDAY, OCTOBER 6, 1924; ° Your Fire Burden \ This is Fire Prevention Week Every dollar lost through fire adds to your fire burden. You pay your share of it in one way or another. You pay through higher insurance rates—for rates and losses maintain a fairly constant ratio. You pay through the loss of ma- terial—for wealth that is burned up ceases to work for its owner, for civilization, for you. You pay through your fellow men’s unemployment. You suffer when an- other continues to be a consumer, but ceases to be a producer. You pay through business friction. Every unfulfilled contract, every fail- ure to deliver,every obstacle to turning wheels anywhere, checks and slows up and hampers to some degree the wheels that are turning everywhere else. What are you going to do about it? Resolve now that no fire shall ever be charged to your careless- ness or negligence. Lend your whole-hearted cooperation to the national movement to pre- vent fire.
