FOUR AGENTS OF THE NATIONAL
BENEFIT LIFE INSURANCE CO.

By v. Overstreet, June 10, 1926.
We still have the honor for produc-
ton and collection. The banner is yet
in our office "How long shall we keep
this banner?" is the question that is in
the minds of Mr.. Chapman and Mr..
Houston OF course Mr.. Reed and |
have figured matters out and can tell.
We have splendid report for this
week, tho our manager is likely to cry
for .'help" again because Of the health
of the people of Laurel. He says that
Laurel is the unhealthiest place in the
district over which he is manager. 1t is
because of the sick claims.) We are cry
ing too, for help from you, as each poll
cy holder is part of this business and
can help his agent by paying in due
time, so as to aid us in settling our dis
ability claims on time. When you put
your agent off he must put someone off
too You may look to receive out of
concern according as to the way you
put into the concern
You do not know this perhaps, SO |
will tell you that the weekly payments
which you make on your insurance is
the companys money Now why do you
hurry your agent to pay your claim
when you sometimes put him off for a
month?
The National Benefit Life Insurance
company is not the only one that has
this trouble So do your duty and when
your agent does not respond according
lly, then he is subject to be pun
Iished
We thank you who have continued
with us this far and those who started
and could not hold on and those who
have criticized us and caused us to be
what we are, we thank you too.
To those who are going to join us
within the near future, we send words
of thanks to you in advance.
We are yours for the race,
