Detailed
Description		    Rare and unusual flier offering varied services to members of the Jewish community from the Jewish National Fund (Judischen Nationalfondes) of Prague. The flier is addressed To our like-minded persons, representatives and friends (an unsere Gesinnungsgenossen, Vertrauensmänner und Freunde) and offers a variety of services generally not obtainable (Die sonst nicht erlangbar sind). Among them are Life insurances (with and without medical investigation) (Lebensversicherungen (mit und ohne ärztliche Untersuchung)); pensions, fire insurance, Burglary insurance (Einbruchsdiebstahl); Broken glass (Glasbruch); hail damage (Hagelschaden); Accident (Unfall); liability (Haftpflicht); and water pipe damage assurances (Wasserleitungsschadenversicherungen). The JNF is commonly and correctly associated with the purchase of land in Eerez Israel to further Jewish settlement. This flier represents a little known aspect of their activities, providing services to Jewich communities in the Diaspora.
