Proclamation
Owing to the fact that there are so many dis
astrous fires all o ( ver the country at this time;
and to the further fact tfiat so many precious
lives are lost in the conflagrations, I am impress
ed that-it is my duty to call special attention of
the citizens of Athens to at once get busy and
investigate the conditions of their homes, schools
and business houses and see that every possible
cause which may contribute to the destruction
by fire be at once removed.
A , ndI respectfully call attention of the people
to aid in the prevention of such dire misfortunes,
before it is too late. A rat and a match can
destroy homes, lives and business in a few hours
if they should meet in a cellar where loose paper
or other inflammables are carelessly left This
is a duty we owe to t our selves, our children and
our community. I would further suggest that the
f . lre . de Partment be requested to
make frequent inspections of homes, schools
and business houses and that the possibilities
of fire be reduced to a.minimum. I trust that
the people of Athens will all unite in their efforts
to prevent that which- will'inevitably bring loss
01 J 'f e > grief and loss of property, by being ex
ceedingly careful in removing all possible causes
to fiutJ5“ in ftFP« wer to do; let us attend
Mav J therefore . Proclaim next week,
May 28-June 2, fire prevention week.

INSURANCE
Prevention of fire is at times,
impossible—losses always fol
low, and must be borne, but it
is both possible and prudent
to insure yourself against such !
losses—so that instead of
bearing the loss yourself an
insurance company amply able
to underwrite such hazards
will take care of it.
We have a record of many
years of prompt, careful and
efficient service in providing
Fire Insurance to our patrons

BY INSURING AGAINST
LOSS BY FIRE WITH US
Fire has been a great friend to man but it destroys
millions of dollars worth of his property yearly—some
times through his or some other man’s carelessness.
Much of this loss is preventable—all. may be largely
averted and borne by insurance companies who under
write such risks and hazards.
IT IS THE PART OF WISDOM—
IT IS PRUDENT—
IT IS RIGHT— \
TO INSURE YOUR PROPERTY
Let us protect your property from becoming a total
loss to you by covering it with a policy in one of the
companies yre represent. -
