SPLENDID SUCCESS HAS BEEN ATTAINED
BY THE PIONEER LIFE lNS. Co
Present Officials Bio Men.

! in attendance for their interest and at
tention.
Present Officials Big Men.
Much OF the recent success which
has been attained by the Pioneer Life
Insurance Co, is due directly to the
efforts of it's secretary, j. j. Feckler,
who for the two past years has been
the active manager OF the company,
and to Thos. Hughes, vice president
and general manager OF agents. These
two men are broad minded, cleancut
business men,
In his talk Judge Young said. in
speaking of the present solid financial
condition of the company: Two years
ago / would not have felt like maxi
ing the statement that this company
could not be anything but q success.
but tonight it Is different. Tonight
know and am willing to stake by
reputation that the Pioneer Life, is
more than an experiment, it is an as
sured success
Although he did not mention names,
Judge Young in this statement, paid a
big compliment to the present active
managers Of the company, for as stat
ed before, 1t was just two years ago
that they assumed the active manage
ment
insure for Any Amount.
In talking OF the affairs of the
Pioneer Life today, one Of the officials
said that the Pioneer Life will ac-
cept insurance on any one life for
any amount from $1,000 to 100000,
but at no time retains or becomes IL
able for more than $4,000. The rest is
reinsured with eastern companies such
as the Metropolitan Life, which is the
largest life insurance company in the
world, the Pittsburg Life & Trust Co.
and other large eastern life insurance
companies that are only too glad to
carry the additional insurance for the
Pioneer Life.
With this arrangement it is obvious
that business men of Fargo who wish
to carry protection for the firm with
which they are associated can as safe
ly carry a policy with this home COM
pany. even though it is a large amount,
as to place their insurance with any Of
the older institutions, and thus keep
the money paid out for premiums in
the state. In this way the reserve on
this business will always remain in
