WHY A SALARIED JOB?"

Plenty of Commission Jobs Available
In my news sketch Of last week.
Making Our Own Jobs" I outlined a
few ways by which we could make
our W jobs, according to the infor-
nation CLEANED from a conversation
with Mr.. Harry H. Pace, president of
the Supreme Liberty Life Insurance
Company. That story was written
more in the light of those wanting to
build up salaried jobs for our bows
and girls but there was another angle
to the situation that is deserving of a
separate story by itself and that is
the jobs that are daily being unused
because Of lack Of knowledge, or en-
ergy and inclination of our young me-
and women to grasp same.
AS stated in the sketch last week.
Mr.. Pace informed me that his w
company could add one salaried work
er for each two hundred policies
placed on their books. And while he
would not venture definitely on the
ratio for other companies still the
reader can visualize what an oppor-
tunity for making our own Jobs lies
IN the mere act of patronizing our
own nsuran companies irgtead Of
rushing to give our money to the
companies that will not even hire us
as porters much less clerks, steno-
graphers and executives.
In the securing of these additional
two hundred policies are many OBJ
~portunities for our young men and
women who are now waiting for a
salaried job to come their way, to
earn practically as much as they a
by a salaried job and with more lei
sure to themselves and in a name
that can be cultivated to their liking
For every policy that is written up
there must be a contact between the
insurance company and the prospect
and these contacts are commission
workers with no limit to what their
earnings can be if their energies are
utilized in keeping with their circum
stances.
Of course, it is granted that the in
divdiual whose financial circum-
stances are such that he is forced to
have a Saturday night pay envelope
in order to take care Of his next
weeks board and room bill, will find
insurance work on commission, dis
couraging, for insurance cannot be
sold like pop corn and peanuts to the
kiddies. Each contact must first be
developed and built up to the point of
action.
But the young man or young wom-
en- who is living at home and with no
dependents, their earnings merely
supplementing that Of their parents,
and in order to provide extra Injuries
or a greater independence for them
selves, can more profitably take up
the work OF selling insurance in any
of our strong colored insurance COM
and earn more than they pos
could arm ON any straight
basis.
Such a person, naturally would be
from a home Of some Independent
means; well thought of, and well
known in their community. They
would know practically every colored
in their community, their
means, etc. And to such persons the
young insurance sales person could
and should start his contacts. Having
the friendship Of these excellent con
facts is half the battle. Having a
color in common, the matter OF help
