SIGNAL SUCCESS OF VALLEY BOY

Another of Madison District boys
who have made a success of life is
Mr. Joseph C. Campbell, banker and
insurance man, of Columbus, Ohio.
When a boy of IT, Mr.. Campbell
left Shenandoah, going to Columbus.
Reaching there, he worked the first
winter on farm. feeding stock, ETC.,
for very small pay. In the Spring
he accepted a elerkship in one of
the retail stores of the city The
mercantile business not suiting him,
an opportunity of entering tale life
insurance business was offered. He
accepted the position and found con-
genial work, which permitted the full
use of his talents.
So rapid was his rise in the insur-
ance business, that within several
years he was made general agent of
the John Hancock Life Insurance
Company, for the states of Ohio and
West Virginia.
During the years that have passed
since that time, Mr. Campbell has
built one of the largest life insur-
anee business in the Middle West.
When the National Bank of Co
lumbus was organized some years
ago, Mr.. Campbell was unanimously
elected president. Under his wise
management, the bank made rapid
strides and was soon recognized as
one of the leading institutions of the
Buckeye State.
A few years ago. Mr.. Campbell,
having reached the age, when as he
says. if ne is ever going to play. he
must begin now, he turned over his
insurance business, paying almost as
much as the salary of the President
of the United States, to his son and
been his cashier These gentle
men are now successfully conducting
the business. He has on several oc-
lcasions rendered his resignation as
president of the National Bank of
Columbus, but his associates persist
emily refuse to accept it. Mr.. Camp
bell is also president of the board of
trustees of fund belonging to the
city of Columbus, and as with all
other funds in his care, it is judici-
ously administered 1t has now reach
ed the enormous sum of $12, 900, 900,
the securities for which are under
Mr.. Campbell's care.
Mr.. Campbell has also been emf
nentfy successful in real estate in
vestments, and many valuable prop
critics in the city are owned by him.
His country home consists of an ele-
CANT farm of several hundred acres,
lying about 80 miles from the city,
on which is erected magnificent res
idence. built by railroad president
for home and which was later pur-
chased by Mr.. Campbell
Mr.. Campbell, unlike many men
who have accumulated great for
tune. has not forgotten his boy.
hood friends who have not succeeded
as he has. His numerous gifts tC
Edinburg in many ways, his kind
ness to his friends and former asso
ciates. are proof of his generosity
and love for the people who so high
ly esteem him and value his friend
ship.
