✦ Synopsis

Let's Stay in Business.--Six weeks after a $3,000,000 fire one day last winter totally destroyed it, a Philadelphia manufacturing plant was back in business--production resumed.

Term it a "modern miracle"--back in business in six weeks! If it had been your plant, would it be in business today?

Would you be back at your old job ?

The record shows there are some 70,000 such fires every year--not all, of course, so costly.

For instance, mercantile fires--those in the retail and wholesale trade, restaurants, bars, repair shops, filling stations and public garages--last year totalled 47,929. Those in manufacturing (factories, breweries, canneries, bakeries, laundries, printing and other manufacturing and processing) totalled 22,600.
