MEETING OF AGENTS HERE STATE TEACHERS ASSEMBLY
The Noted National Life Insurance
Company Of Montpelier, Vermont,
Keeps In Touch With Its
Markers.

In the offices of Mr.. Fl. M. Hum
phrey, State Manager for North Caro-
lima of the National Life Insurance |
Company of Montpelier, VT, which are
on the fifth floor of the Borden Build .
ing, in this city, was held yesterday |
meeting of field agents of this COM /
pany, under the supervision OF Mi. /
Humphrey, and a more presentable
gathering of representative North .
Carolinians could hardly be brought
together, coming as these did from ali
sections of the State, and being men OF
marked intelligence and in the full
flower of energy and ambition; and
no higher tribute could be paid to the
engaging features and winning merits
of the National Life of Montpelier than
that it can enlist in its service sucn
men as constitute its corps of workers
in this State-men who would not lend
themselves to the promotion of other
than the best: men who looking Tor
an inviting field in which to engage
their energies and develop opportun1-
ties have sought employment with this
company.
This gathering of agents yesterday
in State Manager Humphreys offices,
was addressed by Mr.. Edw. D. Field,
of Montpelier, the Company's superln-
tendent of agencies, who himself is
one of the most conversant insurance
men in the country, and clothes his
1f 70 nfC
presentation of arguments for life in
surance with such literary finish OF
expression as to render his talks not
only interesting for the time but also
of permanent educational value; so
that every one who heard him yester-
day was not only enthused but bene-
flied. And, too, they were made, II
possible, more patriotic North Caro-
linians, for Mr.. Field stated that while
/ the Company's business was growing
in volume all over the country, North
] Carolina, under the management OF
Mr.. Humphrey, makes showing that
fnone can excel.
! The records in Mr.. Humphreys Of
| fee show an increase in North Caro-
lima of over 100000 of new business
this year over business written for
the corresponding months Of last year,
and Mr.. Humphrey is confident OF
pushing this increase up to, if not be-
yond the half-mil1ion mark by the
close of the year, the new business
for the past ten months already being
in excess of one million dollars in this
State: and his company's faith in North
Cardinals stability and future is indi-
Gated by the continued investment by
, this company in North Carolina State,
county and municipal bonds.
The directors of the National Life
. have already, on the strength of the
: new business written, ordered an il
, crease in dividends. This Is of inter
est and cheer to its policy holders, and
this makes the fifth additional increase
, in dividends in the past seven years.
