Terre Haute Postcards - Disaster Scenes (2)

More postcards from my collection...

This set of views is from a fold-out tradecard published by A. & J. H. Stoddart, New York Underwriters Agency.

Damage Caused by Cyclone at Terre Haute, Ind. March 23 1913

In a few moments the savings of a lifetime disappear

Rents, too, should be insured against wind hazard

The time is fast approaching when the mortgage will require the
mortgager to carry tornado and windstorm insurance. Just as he is now required
to protect the property by fire insurance.

By insuring against loss from windstorm, you will rest secure and add to your peace of mind

No part of the country is immune from the ravages of the elements

It is just as unreasonable to carry your own tornado risk as it would be to carry your own fire risk

Wind - Storms
and Tornadoes
have destroyed millions of dollars'
worth of property, and no argument
can reasonably be advanced that your
section of the country is exempt, as
government reports show that these
fearful disasters occur in all parts of the
country during any month of the year.

Are you Insured?
