 IN INSURANCE RACE
First In United States and Cam ada to Meet Travellers
 Offer
His Notable Achievement Wins Him
 Two Weeks Vacation

Fresh evidence of his forcefulness and aggressiveness, which this time brings him into prominence throughout the United States and Canada. is fur nished by A. Newton Vaughn of this 1 city, who has qualified ahead of all others in this country and Canada as delegate to the sixtieth anniversary convention of the Travellers Insurance companies. to be held in September at the famous Chateau Frontenac, Que bee.
 The Travellers announced on the last day of 1923 that it would invite all of it's representatives in the United States and Canada. to attend the com ing convention, as guests of the com pany. But there was a string tied to the invitation and it was that those en- titled to go, with all expenses paid, should produce stipulated amount of certain kinds of insurance business during the six months period begin ming Jan End.
 All Agents Notified
 The announcement was received simultaneously in agencies all over the continent, and on the first business
  with enthusiasm to get their allot- ments. Seven big producers in vari- ous branch offices promptly issued challenges, stating they would qualify first.
 Mr. Vaughn, picking the likeliest prospects for insurance which Putnam has. began soliciting. By last Friday night he had secured nine applications for automobile insurance policies, one for a manufacturer public liability policy, one for a workmen's eompen- sation insurance policy, and thirty one for personal accident policies.
 Mir. Vaughn issued no challenge. But he went to work, intent on meet ing the conditions Of the offer at the earliest possible date. Succeeding in nine business days. he not only led all Connecticut Travellers representa- tives, but was the first in the United States and in Canada, to meet the re- quirements of the company's offer.
 A Real Achievement
 Above everything else, Mir. Vaughn proved to the fraternity that he is a producer. To qualify first in the coun- try and Canada, as he did, was a real accomplishment.
 His reward is the prestige his feat gives him, and a two weeks vacation at the Chauteau Frontenac, Quebec, with all expenses paid-and his usual commissions from the policies he sold in the international competition.
 Mir. Vaughn is one of Putnam's best known and best liked residents. He is president of the Chamber of Commerce, treasurer of Putnam Lodge of Elks, and is active in Cargill Coun- cil, K. of C., and is identified with oth- CT organizations.

licans to do now is to get down to
the business of electing the Repub-
lican nominees. The prescience of
the names of Calvin Coolidge and

a spirit of righteousness and courage

strong determination for all nominees
of our party.
"The Republican party stands for
America first. 1t is the party OF pros
perity and better times. Give the
country a Republican President, SEN
ate and Congress, and this is assured.
This can only be performed by CIV
ing unstinted support to the ticket

luton, which was adopted. calling
