The recorded loss of property by
fire in the United States during
the 44 years from 1879 to 1922. ex-
ceeded $8,000,000,000.
The average annual loss In tills
country during the last ten years
was 1250.00,000. In the year 1922 the I
property loss was 5521.860,000, rep- I
resenting the greatest destruction '
ever known for any twelve months j
In any country at any period of tho
world's history.
In other words, at our present
