Take Cover for the Holidays The laugh is not always on the pedestrian where traffic accidents are concerned. Scan the daily papers and you will find that the motorists and their passengers provide the bulk of the cot cases. And it is not always the reckless motorist who ends up in the casualty ward; his innocent victim in the other car may be the sufferer. Accidents are multiplied tenfold during the holiday periods, when town and country visitors are on the move day and night, on foot and in cars, in search of pleasure. Traffic congestion has inherent risks for every class of road user, from the pedestrian upwards, yet how few persons deliberately take out accident policies. Yet the “Star’s” free insurance covers a very wide variety of road accidents, involving loss of life or disablement, and every prudent man owes it to himself to investigate the benefits. m The payments range up to £4OOO in the event of a registered reader and his wife or her husband being killed in a railway accident. £2OOO will be paid in the event of the death of a reader in a similar accident. £IOOO will be paid in the event of death in a lift accident or the wrecking of a passenger steamer. The street benefits are numerous; they include £250 in the event of fatality on a tramway car, bus, cab, motor car or ferry boat; £250 in the event of a fatality in a private car; £250 where these accidents result in the loss of two limbs or the sight; smaller amounts in the event of a burning fatality at home or at work; £IOO if one arm, leg or eye be lost; £l5O if the reader be killed on the public highway by being run over; £l5O if killed as the result of an accident to a bicycle, tricycle or motor-cycle; £lO if he sustains a broken bone in the leg above the ankle, the arm above the wrist, or a broken lower jaw. £l5O will be paid if the reader be drowned while boating or bathing; £l5O if killed during the course of certain sporting competitions. The Home Insurance provides for a payment of £l5O if the reader be killed at home, and £lO in the event of a fracture. Payments of £5 are provided in the event of children of registered readers sustaining certain accidents. These and other liberal benefits are yours for the asking. Merely sign the coupon, you become a registered reader, and you are immediately eligible for these many benefits, which may tide you or your family over a period of acute financial trouble.
