cerning the sudden disappearance OF
DR.. Theodore Diesel. the famous in

been deepcned by tho report that his
family Is without means and in {,
nearly destitute condition.

Lavish praise for the success which
has attended the efforts of Edgar w.
Smith, well known Pendleton boy and
son of Mr.. and Mrs. E. L.. Smith. dur
ing his short career as an insurance
agent is contained in the January
number of Agency Items, a monthly
publication sent out by the Equita BILE
Life Assurance Society of the United
States to its many agents throughout
the country as an aid and stimulus
to them. Under the title "A Notable
Record" the front page of the little
magazine is devoted to the story of
his work and contains a picture OF
/ him.
| The following is the tribute paid to
him by the men for whom he works
The record made by Edgar w
Smith, Agency Manager at Portland,
! Oregon, since his Identification with
the Society as a sub agent in Novem-
ber 1911, should be as inspiring to
all members of the Society's field
forces as it is gratifying to all at the
Home Office.
Entering the business without life
insurance experience he produced ap-
plications from the start, and three
months later was appointed Agency
Manager.
Through hard, personal work he
has since paid for an increasing vol
ume of business each month in To-
cality in which the Society had for
\
footing. During November, 1912, he
forwarded 81 applications, written in
27 days, for a total of $SS,500, all in
comparatively small policies. AS with
all his business nearly every case was
closed on a binder"
During his brief life insurance ca
reer he has paid for over 100000 of
insurance.
He qualified as a presidential del
egate in about three weeks and for
the Quarter Million Club for 1912 in
a little over six months He became
eligible for the 1913 Century Club in
December 1912. He will shortly
to be sure of a membership in the
1913 Quarter Million Club.
His youthful appearance does not
mis-state his age (25 years. nor has
his youthfulness proved a barrier to
big business. His success emphasizes
anew the time-worn adage that the
possibilities in life underwriting for
the Equitable are without limit to the
aggressive, enthusiastic, persevering
intelligent, and diligent representa-
tive"
