w. H. JONES, INSURANCE
MAN. A GOOD ADVERTISER

w. II. Jones of the Duniavy
Agency company is II live insurance
man who is always thinking up some
new stunt to catch The public eye.
This enables him to write let more
insurance policies than if he quietly
wended his way through town look
ing neither to the right nor to the
left. Jones is IA unique advertiser
and his latest "hand-mc out life
card rarely fails to inspire the re-
cipient to contract for some kind of
insurance.
AT Christmas time Mr.. Jones re
membered all Lis friends with handy
little pocket note books with let
citizen pull ont this black wallet one
knows that Jones had been arouno
at Santa Claus time.
Mr.. Jones believes in advertising.
Moreover he believes in the sun
shine, good cheer doctrine. \ healthy
handshakc and Il genial smile are
friend makers and friends are as
likely to want insurance as enemies.
The idea is Mr.. Jones refuses to make
enemies.
Jones will insure anything ana
everything from your life Gown to
your rubber boots. In his talks he
never knocks the other companies
doing business but points out the
merits of the companies he repre-
sents. A pleasant fellow 10 neo: one
feels like he ha better get insured
at once for fear ne won get The next
Cne of his souvenirs.
That kind of enterprise briags re-
suits.
