THE LOSS IN LIVES THE WASTE IN MONEY 34,000 Men, Women and Children Are Killed by Accidents Every Twelve Months ONE MILLION DOLLARS in Wages Are Lost Every Working Day an A er / \S NN, Think of the terrifying toll in human lives—one human In money the loss in wages due to accidents alone runs life snuffed out every fifteen minutes. These are government into a million dollars a day. Think what this loss means to statistics. These same authentic government reports point out the individual, to his dependent family, besides the untold that three-quarters of the deaths and serious accidents can and want and suffering that frequently result therefrom. should be prevented. That would mean 25,000 fewer deaths —at least 10,000 fewer widows and 30,000 fewer orphans When summed up and stated in grand totals—the loss every year. in lives and money is startling. And careful investigation Here is certainly a subject that should stir the nation to and unprejudiced judgment demonstrate that much of this a new understanding of anid co-operation with the “SAFETY waste in lives and money is preventable — YOU, EVERY- FIRST” movement. BODY can help. Do These Facts Make You Think? wit these facts before us and realizing the large number of accidents which occur daily In a great industrial community such as ours, The Seattle Star has inaugurated an extensive campaign advocating common sense in the prevention of acci- dents, and urging the close observance of simple safety rules, which will be laid down from time to time. This campaign is planned and financed by the Manufacturing Companies, Banks, Trust Companies, Public Service Cor- porations, Firms, and others, whose names appear below. This page is one of a series, and, for your own sake, as well as those dependent upon you, the entire series should be read. ‘ The subscribers want the real purpose of this campaign understood by every reader and without thought of any selfish gain, but that our whole people may realize and fully understand what this great movement of SAFETY FIRST means. New problems are confronting us daily and one of the greatest of these is the prevention of needless accidents on the streets, in the shops, on the railroads, in the stores, the counting room, on the farms, and amid the roar of mighty machinery In our great industries. SAFETY FIRST is only another way of expressing the idea, in order that we may live our lives without unnecessary suf- fering, or causing others to suffer, and to prevent the loss of time, which means the loss of earning power.
