NEW CASTLE. Jan. 21-John b.
Wright, of South Bend, Ind. is visit
ing his brother, James J. Wright. Mr.
Wright is a superintendent at South
Bend for the Metropolitan Insurance
Company, and has charge of a juris-
diction in Indiana and the adjoining
Estate. He will attend the annual
convention of the superintendent Of
81 the company to be held in New York
& beginning Wednesday. Mr.. Wright
Ngoes to the convention with the dis
& tinction Of having made the best
record of any superintendent in the
Il country Assisted by his six field
men and corps of agents he succeeded
in getting the lead for industrial poll
cies, together with ordinary bus-
Rness.
Mr.. Wright in speaking of the Mid
Idle West said last evening: THE Mid
IDLE West has the men with genuine
business grit. They left the poky
Splaces and sleepy fellows in the East,
land went out TO take a chance. They
had the sand to do so and they have
made good. 10 is the same old story.
II would not come back TO New Castle
to live. The Middle West is the
4place where you must hustle or move
away. Every one hustles, everything
is hustle and activity brings success
to the one who is willing to join the
procession.
Il see New Castle has made a start
toward progress in tearing up the
cobble stones TO make room for a
modern pavement. But she is half a
century behind the times. Places in
the Middle West as big as New Castle
have not been on the map two years.
It takes grit and determination and
* go-aheadiveness to bring prosperity
to a place. New Castle needs them
