1t is unfortunate for the Germania
Life Insurance company as well as
myself that Mr.. Wiesendonck was not
permitted to remain in Paris, where
he came from three months ago tc
fill the position that he fiolds-not on
account of being capable, but because
he is the son Of the president of the
company. He knows nothing about
Insurance, but tries TO put himself III
as q judge Of a man who is d good
subject for life insurance.
This agency has written since May
in the neighborhood of 100000, which
is likely more than any Germania ag-
ency in the entire world has written
in that time. Some of the people hold
ing policies may be poor. but l believe
are honest.
As far as the silly. remark that there
WIS a combination formed TO beat COM
psnias, insurance men will laugh at
that Any man who knows anything
about the methods in which life insur-
ance companies get their business and
their subjects examined, and the rou-
tine that they must go through before
the policy is issued, they would read
lily see that such a thing is the nerest
trash.
My agency was examined by thor
ough Insurance NAH in October, a man
who has been inspector of the German
ia Life Insurance company for more
than twenty years. He found at that
time everything in excellent shape.
He 50 Informed his company, both by
wire and ietter-a copy of the telegram
can be produced by referring 10 my let
ter book. Since that time l have not
been in the Office much, but Mr.. Brit
becker, who has charge of the office is
an excellent business man, and / am
confident that everything has been done
in a business manner,
They speak of a soldier who was
wounded in the army. [ never knew
before that being in the army barred a
man from taking out an insurance pol
icy to protect his family. l do not think
that question ever was raised, or ever
VIII be by any one who knows any
thing about insurance. The man they
spoke about is 4 United States mar
shall and is as fine q piece of manhood
as anyone wishes 20 carry a policy on.
They speak of me also for not being
careful about the medical examinations
which have always been made by COM
petent doctors. The rules of the Ger
mania are. that the agent must not
be present at the time the doctor is
making the examination; that he is
not permitted TO see the eXaminat ton
blank after it is filled out. 1t is put in
a sealed envelope and in that form
goes to the company.
He speaks about a man taking poll
cles TO carry one year and then let
ting them drop. He must think that
the Utah people are very green" l
think. however, they will compare very
favOIably with his Paris and New York
friends, and will do what he failed to
do, at least most of them-make their
business a success.
Close TO the end of the year is d
good time for a company TO try to
break a contract with a man who has
done a large business. l regret very
much that the agencies of other COM
panies were brought up on my ac-
count.
Believing that you will be willing to
publish this in justice to the one aimed
to he injured by that other article. |
am, Respectfully yours,

WHAT SHERIFF BARROW SAYS.
To show the class of business which
Mr.. Hynes has been doing Mr. NJ II.
barrow, the sheriff of Grand county.
Utah, writes as follows:
In reference to those who made ap-
plication to the Germania Life Insur-
ance company, through the Solicita-
ton of MeSsrs- Hynes and Seymour, in
in and around the vicinity of Moab,
l wish to state that 1 personally know
every one OF them and have for sew
eral years. There was not a cattle
maa written By those agents who
does not own his own stock-a good
citizen, amply able to carry insurance.
and whose paper l would gladly dis
count.
1t is true that in the branding sea
son those employed in the work of
branding Cattle carry guns. Not to
defend themselves against their fellow
men, but against dangerous cattle.
The mountains around Moab valley
furnish excellent feed for cattle in tbs
summer time and the valleys in the
winter
l have lived in Moab for ten years.
during which time there has been buf
one man killed-he was a drunken IN
dian. Many of those men written by
the above agents own from 1000 to
5,00e head Of cattle.
While great many of our citizens
depend upon stock raising for liveli-
hood, we are by no means limited to
that enterprise. Our valley is one of
the best fruit producing sections of
America. Fifty tons of fruit has been
shipped from one point out of the VAL
ley during the past year and still plenty
remains.
l know little or nothing about life in
Sufance, but | do know that those
men who took insurance in our val
ley are good, healthy, strong men. ana
that they took their Insurance. in good
talth, and they are not men who go
into something to let it drop.
Yours truly.
NJ. II. BARROW.
