WROTE s67s,2OO INSURANCE
C. C. Wyandt's Agency One OF
Union Central's largest.

To have made the best record OF
any agent west Of the Mississippi
river for an insurance company as
large as the Union Central Life In
surance Company is a distinction
that is worth having. Such is the
record made by G. G. Wyandt Of this
city according to the company's re-
port Just issued. Mr.. Wyandt has
organized one Of the strongest agency
forces in the nation and the fact that
his business was during the past year
$67S, 200 Of life insurance written
shows to what proportions his work
has grown.
The company has $50 general
agents, including those in all the
large cities in the country. Among
these Mr.. Wyandt ranks as fifteenth
In the volume Of business written.
The Union Central is deseryedly
popular in this state. Its dividends
for the past year, regardless Of the
fact that 1t was year Of business de-
preston, have exceeded all promises
and the policy holders here who have
received statements Of the earnings
and the appointments on their poll
cles have been agreeably surprised
The fact that the company loans 50
per cent Of Its assets on the best Of all
securities, farm mortgages, makes il
one Of the largest dividend payers in
the insurance field and it stands al
one Of the great companies Of the
country. Mr.. Wyandt has reason tc
be proud Of his years record and o
the COMPANY he represents.
