AN INTERESTING INTERVIEW.
Hon. J. A. vanHoose Talks of Insurance.
 A Believer in Advertising

Elsewhere in this issue appears an inter- esting interview with Hon. J. A. YanHooso on life insurance. In the interview some pointed and pertinent questions for insur- CTS to ask agents are suggested. So far as his own company. The New York Life, is concerned, Mir. VanHoose answers each question plainly and unequivocally, and at the same time defes other agents to do likewise. Mr VanFIoose has made a suc- cess in the insurance business, due in a large measure to his keen appreciation or the value of advertising That he is not unmindful of the efficacy of newspaper ad- vertising is evidenced by the frequency with which he patronzes the local press. Although a firm believer in printers ink, as well as a public spirited citizen, MT. VanI3oose's chief reason, for advertising his Company through the press is the facs that he has something of merit to offer, writing policy that will stand the closest scrutiny one that, 1t is claimed, has so far baffed all competitors. ..
 The New York Life is one of the oldest, strongest, soundest and safest institutions of its kind in the world, and has from it's incipiency courted comparison. 1t claims to issue the best policy written, offering inducements and making concessions to in- surers that no other company con do. With this claim, backed by such a reputa- ton for reliability as his company enjoys. MT VanHoose has prepared cateehism which he requests all prospective insurers to place before insurance agents before making application for a policy. He ex- plains that by ingeniously prepared h-era- ture, much of which is so ambiguous that weeks study would be required to compre- hend 1t, placed in the hands of shrewd agents, people are frequently misled, and that 1t is his purpose and the purpose of his company to force all rivals to show down." hence the questions which he has prepared and which appear elsewhere. "ff
