The American Bankers’ As-
sociation estimates the yearly
loss in the United States from
crimes against property at $3,-
500,000,000. That’s more than
the millions corn and cotton
producers get for their pro-
ducts. Palbably, crime is a
major industry in this country.

cat with a brood of kittens In
the closet, no glow of fires in
the winter or fragrance of
roses in spring, and nobody
home about three-fourths of
the time.
