J. HENRY JOHNSON II
HoNoRED IN INSURANCE FIELD
Oklahoma City Man. Wen known
Here, Made Vice President OF
National Idfe Jnderwtit-
erS' Association.

Again the insurance underwriters
of Oklahoma have occasion for graf
ification at the action OF the National
Life Underwriters Association is be-
slowing honors upon two Of the prom
inent insurance men of the State az
the national convention held last
month in San Francisco.
Mr.. j. Henry Johnson. OF Oklaho-
na City. who the past year has serv-
ed as secretary or the national or
ganiEation. was elected vice president
this year.
Mr.. Johnson. State manager OF the
National Life Insurance Co. Montpe-
Iier. VT, for several years served as
president Of the Oklahoma Life Tn
derwrifers' Association. and is re-
garded by insurance men as one Of
the real live wires in this State I'm
der his leadership the State organi-'
zation has grown from mere bak-
er's dozen in 1907, the year Of state
hood. to dozen dozen in the good
year 1915. Always he has.led in the
campaigns looking to protection Of
the insurance fraternity during iegis-
lative sessions and as carefully has
labored to safeguard the interests OF
the insuring public. and ever he has
endeavored to elevate insurance
salesmanship TO the high plane OF
merits. promiting spirit Of gentle
manly consideration and hearty CO.
operation among those who represent
the various legal reserve companies
operating in the commonwealth.
The National Association. compos-
ed OF underwriters roughout che
United States and Canada. is one Of
the most influential and powerful or
ganizations in the life insurance bus
mess. carrying as much prestige
among the lawmakers and state and
national officers as the American Life
1 Convention or the Association of Life
Insurance Presidents. To be a ma
tional officer OF this association puts
one on a par with the chief executives
OF the great life insurance companies
OF America. and thus gives the recip-
lent of such an honor a commanding
influence in the insurance world that
can possibly come TO only few men
in any generation.
Mr.. Johnson has been making reg
ular visits to this city for the past
fifteen years. and probably has more
insurance in force in this city tlIar
any other three companies. He has
many warm friends here who will re,
ioiee with him In the honor and dis
tinction shown him his field OF ac-
tivity. rI
