for the

seasonality to fire and casualty underwriting
results on a semi-annual basis.
Underwriting profit margins for
the first six months have consistently surpassed those of the latter
half of the year.
Thus far in September the industry has for¬
tunately escaped damage from hurricanes, lending hope that 1962
will be free of major weather catastrophes.
If this hope becomes
a reality, 1962 could yet be an excellent
underwriting year for the
industry. The next few weeks will be highly significant to the fire
and casualty industry's profitability for the entire year,
