There is no business in the
world today that promises a
brighter future to young man
as the business of life insurance,
if he will enter it with a de-
termination to stick. There are
a large number Of men qualified
for life insurance salesmanship
without positions today because
of mergers and the low level OF
business activities. Many of
these, if they realized the op-
portunities offered in the life
insurance business for their
future independence, would enter
it now.
Something for Pride
Life insurance is a business
any man can be proud Of. 1t
has proven it's case and as a
result, life insurance man can
walk down the street with his
head held high, neither lodging
nor running away when an old
policyholder comes to meet him.
How few men who represent
financial services are able to do
this.
But the insurance man can go
back to everyone with a smile
of confidence upon his face, for
that which he sold him is worth
more today than it was a year
ago.
In day of financial un-
certainty, of shifting values,
when men are asking. How
much will it be worth a year
from now?" The life insurance
man enjoys the biggest of assets
the article he sells has a
proven worth. And the chances
are nine out of ten that whether
the life insurance salesman calls
upon a banker, railroad official
or any other executive, that the
company which he represents is
larger and stronger than the
other mans.
Life insurance is not difficult
to sell today as it has an appeal
to a man who is looking for a
investment, and for man who

LOWEST IN z
YEARS
American Telephone, General
Motors, General Electric,
Standard Gas, Kresge Drop
BY w. s. COUSINS

NEW YORK, Sept. 20 G.N.SJ. il.
The railroad stocks held steady in
the early trading on the big board
today as heavy selling in the in
dustrial and utilities forced prices
to the years lowest levels.
A wave of selling in United
States Steel, American Can and
other favorites was ready for the
market at the opening bell. Steel
common was carried downward 2
points to 1898, the lowest price in
two years, and American Tel. and
Tel. lost an additional 2 points at
1884.
General Motors Weakens
General Motors weakened on
rumors of a dividend cut, and
dropped off to a new low at Is p.
Standard Gas, General Electric
and Bethlehem Steel broke under
80 for fractional losses, and
Kresge fell off 3A points to 1914.
The rails were the first to show
definite resistance to the new
flood of selling. Atchison jumped
3A points to lis, accompanied
by an advance of nearly 3 points
in New York Central to 64A4 and
a 1-point rally in New Haven
to 401a.
Baltimore and Ohio rose a
point to 35 and fractional gains
were recorded for Southern Pa
cific, Chesapeake and Ohio and
others.
Professionals at the beginning
of the session sold stocks which
had failed to hold" at the levels
at which support was logically
looked for.
Steel Output Shrinks
Weakness in United States
Steel was due also to reports
that the mid-week steel trade re-
views would show a further
shrinkage in production to about
% per cent of capacity.
General Motors bore the brunt
Of heavy selling accompanying
reports that the automobi',
manufacturer would slow down
next month in preparation for
the new seasons models.
Continuation Of foreign selling
also contributed to the liberal
supplies Of stock in brokers'
hands.
