Thirteen Claims Paid

Two More Readers Compensated Benefits of Free Insurance Scheme SO many thousands of Sun readers have taken advantage of The Sun’s Free Insurance offer, and have placed their names on the register, that every week furnishes fresh examples of its value and importance. It will have been noticed that footballers are specially liable to injury and disablement. A majority of the claims admitted to date have arisen out of accidents to players in club matches. The loss of employment for a week or two as a result of injury on the football field is a serious matter to many young men who have families to support or relatives dependent upon them. The protection afforded by The Sun policy is worth a great deal more than the 9d a week that brings the best paper in Auckland to the door, and provides a payment of £5 a week in case of accident to the subscriber. Thomas Alfred Kemp, of Grey Street, Onehunga, met with a serious accident at football and suffered from concussion. His cla m for two weeks’ compensation has been admitted and a cheque for £lO duly forwarded. Mrs. H. W. Turner, wife of Henry William Turner, bus-driver, of 40 Moa Road, Point Chevalier, was alighting from a tram on September 11, when she sprained her ankle and has been laid up ever since. Her husband had taken the precaution to register as a home delivery subscriber, and as the wife of a subscriber is covered by The Sum Free Insurance, her claim for compensation was in order and hts been admitted. A cheque for £lO has been forwarded to Mr. Turner. Several other claims are under consideration and will be adjusted next week. TT is important that the public should realise that THE SUN, which pioneered Free Insurance in New Zealand, is the only paper that compensates its readers for temporary disablement. None of its imitators has yet announced the settlement of a claim, nor would any of the claims paid by THE SUN hive been admitted under the imitation schemes. THE SUN’S Free Insurance offers real and tangible benefits to the living besides compensating the relatives of any registered reader who mty be unfortunate enough to lose his life as the result of an accident specified in the conditions.
