Fire's yearly toll hits property and jobs nationwide
Every year fire in this country destroys property valued at more than half a million dollars. Beyond the direct losses, the indirect impact through plant destruction, lost profits and goodwill, and ensuing unemployment adds a far greater cost by interrupting business.
Newspaper advertising urged to curb fire loss and indirect costs
A. A. Anderson calls for a nationwide campaign funded by building-loan associations to fight indirect agency losses exceeding a billion dollars yearly. He argues newspapers are the best way to reach citizens and urges a fund of at least $1,000,000 for the campaign, stressing local papers reach the masses and influence public opinion.
