Leaders of our Government believe that enemy in- vasion, at least by air, is possible. Accordingly, after the Pearl Harbor attack, Congress provided free in- surance for the period up to June 30, 1942. By a recent act, Congress created a billion-dollar War Damage Corporation to provide insurance cover- age at the lowest possible premium. To be safe, every- one should take immediate steps to secure War Dam- age Insurance from the Government, You cannot wait until your radio reports that bombers are on the way or until you read in your morning paper that the United States has been attack- ed and then expect to secure immediate coverage, be- cause your policy will not become effective until your application, accompanied by the premium, is received by the Insurance Company. Our office is qualified to furnish you with detailed information about this much needed War Damage In- surance and to secure this coverage for you from the Government. Without obligation, you may call us and obtain first hand information as to rates, rules, ete. HUGH M. QUIGLEY ALL FORMS OF INSURANCE Temple Court ¢ Tel. 2128 Bellefonte, Pa.
