This week the Banners local edit
saw card which showed that Mr.. j.
Johnston, Jr., of Belcher, New Yo
Life insurance agent, had been plac
on the leader list for June. This is t
sixth time during Mr.. Johnston's CO
nection with the company (about eig
teen months) that he has met with SUI
recognition. The company has abo
5000 agents and 100 of the names
these find their way to the leader |
each month. If the reader will stop
reflect it will be seen that to gain pla
on the list an agent must secure mt
business for the company than 1890 OF
er agents. We think this speaks W
for Mr.. Johnston, and it is with pleas'
that we make the announcement.
