MARTIN, A President of Northwestern Mutual Fire Association HE diminishing value of the dol- lar is the great problem of the day. “Cut high cost” is the country-wide cry. We have solved the problem of one necessity, that of fire insurance. You pay for insur- ance in every turn of life. It is all a part of the cost of everything you need—food, clothing, housing, luxuries. Applied to insurance, how has the purchasing power of your dollar been affected? That depends on whether you are one of the army of policy holders composing the Northwestern Mutual Fire Association. In the face of rising cost in every line of activi- ty, the Northwestern Mutual Fire Association is returning a larger portion of its premiums to its policyholders than ever before. Cooperation is the order of the day. The North- western Mutual Fire Association consists of about 60,000 property owners cooperating together in the interests of reducing fire waste and obtaining a low insurance cost. They have already saved millions of dollars and have accumulated cash resources of more than six times the necessary amount to pay losses to expiration of all policies as based on past experience. In ordinary insurance companies the careful property owner must help pay for most careless and indifferent property owners and on the most hazardous classes of property. In the Northwestern Mutual plan you are placed with other careful property owners where you are given the full benefits of low losses and low expenses. The advantages of the Northwestern Mutual system are being shown in the millions of dollars that we have returned to policy-holders by way of cash dividends. In no case is this cash return less than 25 per cent of the premium paid, while on very many classes of risks, it amounts to 40 per cent. We ask you to join this band of careful property owners and if your property is up to the required standard you will receive an absolutely non-assessable policy backed by more cash resources proportionate to insurance risks than the ten largest American stock companies. Look up your next insurance expirations and write us today, that we may have time to inspect your prop- erty before your present insurance expires.
