The above is one of the many collisions reported in these columns during the past twelve months. These collisions are certain to cost the car-owner a considerable sum unless we take the risk under one of our comprehensive policies. The premium is moderate for a policy which insures the car-owner against loss by collision, causing damage to his car. or claims for damage to persons or their property, and loss bv fire.
