The Fire Insurance Standard 
T HE fact that agents and brokers everywhere are pushing other 
companies with the argument that they are “just as good as the 
Hartford,” shows that a Hartford policy has become the 
standard fire insurance policy of America. When that policy, by 
which other companies are measured, can be had without extra cost, 
is it not wisdom to insist on having the standard policy itself ? 
That the Hartford has become the standard is because 
i 
1. It does the largest business. 
2. It has paid the biggest losses. 
3. Its assets and surplus are larger than ever. 
4. It is more than 100 years old. 
5. It is the best known company. 
6. It is fair in settlements. 
7. It is prompt in payment. 
When you need fire insurance ask your agent or broker to get you 
a policy in the Hartford. If he tells you he can get you a policy 
“just as good as the Hartford,” ask him why you cannot have the 
Hartford. Sometimes it may take a little effort, but you can get
