TO OUR POLICY HOLDERS.
The recent fire has emphasized
the fact that too much care can
not be exercised in the use and
storage of gasoline.
Where a gasoline stove is kept
it is absolutely necessary that a
permit for same be attached to
your policies of fire insurance.
No charge is made for these
permits and as we cannot always
know that you have these stoves
we request that you look over
your policies and bring them to
us for endorsement, if required.
