WORK OF THE LIFE AGENT

What Is the work of the life insur-
ance agent. and what does it mean
directly as to homes and broadly as to
society? His direct work is good.
There can be no question of this,
Indirectly his work is far reaching.
1t is because of the premiums paid by
the policyholders whom he obtains
that the life insurance companies ex-
list; it is by reason Of his tireless en-
deavor that the companies prosper
and grow large. Through these COM
panies it may be said that he erects
buildings, constructs bridges, helps
towns and municipalities in construc-
tive work and puts railroads in places
where there were but endless dead
stretches of mere landscape. The life
insurance agent is an important fac
tor in the development of many en-
terprises.
