Some of the text in this Vintage Ad:
At night, the riverbanks shouted a warning
To THE PIONEER FAMILIES floating westward
on the Ohio during the late 1700's, the wilderness
along the river presented a constant threat.
Indians, eager for a scalping party, lurked in
the canebrakes. Long stretches of the forested
banks were literally alive with river pirates.
Once the flatboat families shoved off downriver,
they landed no more often than was necessary-
and then preferably by day. Drifting at night-
with no moon to see by-the family man turned
flatboat pilot used a navigating trick taught him
by old rivermen, one calculated to keep his craft
from swinging too close to shore.
He whacked the side of the boat with an ax-
listened for the echo. The time it took for the
banks to bounce the warning sound back told him
which way to steer to keep in midstream.
This method of dodging danger is typical of the
special skills the pioneer had to learn to keep his
family safe. And today, although pioneering in
this sense is as dead as Daniel Boone (except perhaps
in Alaska), the quest for security is still the
most important pursuit of a family man.
And it's our good luck that-as family men-
we don't need to develop a lot of special skills to
enjoy the security every family needs.
Handy to you there's a man whose study and
experience qualify him as a family-security expert
-your Travelers agent or broker. He can show
you how, through the modern miracle of insurance,
you can in one fell swoop create family security
that it took the pioneer years to achieve.
You'll like the friendly, understanding way
your Travelers man tackles your problems, his
skill in showing you how to get the most for your
insurance dollar. Call him in today.
