Free Life Insurance
For ALI DenhV EMPLOYEES

During April President Garvin
DENLY perfected the final details OF
an arrangement whereby the life of
every employe of the company, office
or factory, is insured for a fixed
amount, which increases up to a GER
tain point with length OF service.
The minimum policy, which goes
into effect after thirty days, is for
$500, payable to whomever the in
sured person may name.
All premiums are paid by the CON-
pany while the individual remains in
its employ, the insurance costing the
employe absolutely nothing. Should
anyone leave the employ Of the CON-
pany at any time, he is at liberty to
take over the policy and continue the
payments, receiving the benefit Of
premiums already paid.
The plan is a development of the
idea of group insurance, which has
been adopted by several of the most
progressive business concerns of the
country

H. 3. Jones, who has recently been
appointed sales manager of the Mid
West Motor and Supply company, is
looked upon by c. c. May as speed
demon when it comes to sales.
Mr.. Jones came to Omaha recon-
mended very highly as an automobile
man. He has been in the business for
a number of years in such cities as
Chicago, Detroit, New Orleans and
various other large automobile CEN
