Had YOU been asked at the 1919
meeting Of the $10O,00O.OO Club, VINO
the 1918 president would be, the !
chances are you would have made a
wrong guess. Yet Cicil H. Wilson, OF
blossoming for the place, and might
have been regarded as q dark horse
Every month, with exceptions SO
few as to make them notable, Mr.. VIII Z
sons name would appear on the page
o. leaders 1t would occupy one po-s:
sition one time, another the next and
SO on. We were careful to keep be-
fore our readers the knowledge that
in him they had to reckon with a sew
eral times prize winner. It would seem
that he was forever annexing honors
of various and sundry kinds.
AS the months passed, rounding
out the memorable year of 1917, the.
question who is Wilson" did not
have to be asked for he was making
himself famous and writing never 10
be forgotten figures in the history OF
che Jefferson Standard. All too late,
the top notchers began to tighten
their belts and the serene highnesses
who live in attitudes that place them
among, the eject, where angels have
to work all day and every day in or-
der to tread, began steaming up.
C. H. Wilson beat the whole bunch
at their own game. He broke rec
! ords He made himself President of
| the S100,Oo0.OO Club, although he
did not know it, and came =
flags flying and bands playing!
What is the secret? Two things If
Wilson were to tal>to You he would
startle you Nth this advice. eff you
are goingfo succeed in the insurance
$usinesE it must be your companion
ahQSnT meals, wnen you go to bed;
You've got to eat it, sleep it, work it,
love it. It must be your religion, your
pastime, as well as your work"
That is Wilson's first secret. The
second is opportunity, the Company
gave him that Wilson says, there are
more opportunities for ambitious
agents than an opium fend could
dream of. That energy can dig them
out, and sell business by the thou
sands anywhere. His score is a Won
derful affair. 1t was great enough to
place him among his fellows and
above them, and it is great enough to
serve as stimulus for further
achievement. Wilson has triumphed
and we glory in his victory.
