Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from An Address Insurance is ordinarily regarded as a device by which life, property, and business are protected against the vicissitudes of time and circumstance. It is much more than that. It is a destroyer of prejudice and the enemy of a very dangerous kind of ignorance. It appeals to the mass feeling, to those impulses which foreshadow the ultimate achievement of human solidarity. In its offices and on its streets the peoples of all lands and of all races meet and mingle daily. It is a world-exposition whose doors never close. Thus welcomed to this City of Dreams, to this epitome of all that was best in our recent civilization, insurance naturally feels itself no stranger and indeed flatters itself that whatever pertinance the formulas of welcome may or may not have on some occasions, the proprieties were not transgressed nor the truth surpassed in the fervent and eloquent speeches of welcome just delivered by the executive heads of the State and City. A world-exposition should reflect world-conditions; it presupposes world-wide intercourse, world-wide understanding, and some considerable degree of world-wide sympathy and faith.
