37 years without loss to any investor 



If you travel 



— once in a while or frequently 

 — on short trips or long tours 

 — for business or pleasure 

 you cannot afford not to insure 



Baggage and personal effects 



Just figure out the value of your belongings, 

 clothing, etc. Think of its chances of loss from 

 fire, theft, pilferage, etc., while it is in transit, 

 in hotels, club houses, and everywhere outside 

 of your home! A NORTH AMERICA policy 

 gives liberal protection and 



costs but a few dollars a year 



You insure your effects while in your home 

 where they are under your watchful care — why 

 not when you travel and they are subject to 

 hazards beyond your control? 



Write today for specimen policy or 

 consult any North America agent.

 samples.
