Some of the text in this Vintage Ad:
The Common Mackerel
The SCOMBER SCOMBRUS, the common mackerel
which roams the seas of the North
Atlantic, is the perfect embodiment of streamlining.
His slim, iridescent body is long and spindle-shaped,
designed especially for great endurance.
He has strong muscles along his spinal column
and can tuck his fins in close to his body so as to
swim with a minimum of effort.
Nature has equipped the mackerel in this
fashion because he has a serious handicap. Unlike
most fish, he has no air bladder to give him
buoyancy.
If he happened to be in shallow water, he
could sink to rest on the bottom without being
endangered by the pressure of water above him.
But as he spends much of his life far out in the
open sea, this solution is usually impossible.
He cannot suspend himself motionless near the
surface like some fish with an air bladder. Yet, if
he should allow himself to sink, the pressure of
the depths would crush him. So, as long as he is
in the open sea, he can never rest, but must keep
swimming constantly to avoid disaster.
In this respect, the mackerel is like the average
man who has no insurance. Each is safe only as
long as he can keep going.
If the man without insurance has an accident
which lands him in the hospital and keeps him
from work, both his normal activity and his
normal income are interrupted. When this happens,
he must either dip into hard-earned savings
to meet his obligations, or, if he has no savings,
be crushed by the weight of his misfortune.
Insurance protects you from the heavy cost of
an accident you can neither foresee nor prevent.
It thus relieves you of many worries that otherwise
would disturb you. As actuarial experience
indicates that the chances are actually one in ten
that you will be involved in an accident within
the coming year, you should not be without this
protection at any time.
In your own community there is an experienced
Travelers agent who will be glad to explain
just what accident insurance can mean to you. He
will also see to it that the policies you choose
become an economical yet efficient part of a well-rounded
insurance program.
