St. Louis Man Sells
Million in Insurance
For Twentieth Year
BY the Associated Press

ny the ASSOCIATED Press.
ST. LOUIS.-People call Robert
c. Newman Million Dollar" Bob
because he writes more than that
much insurance nearly every year.
Recently one man telephoned an
order for $4,000 worth of life in
surance. The policy pushed New
mans sales over the million-dollar
mark for the Goth time since 1921
Eight times his annual sales have
skyrocketed past 100000.
Insurancemen say that except in
Eastern metropolitan areas no man
has exceeded that record.
Insurance prospects flock to him on

ships are his avocation. Almost
every business executive in st. Louis
Is a close friend of the 52-year-old
Mr.. Newman and his 30-year hobby
Of being father confessor and busi-
ness adviser to his friends has built
his business.
"Newman's outstanding trait, ]
think" says st. Louis businessman
rs his ability to find out you're in
trouble almost before you know ii
yourself" And probably his next
dominant quality is his ability tc
erase the difficulty.
For example, one day several years
ago he whacked a friend on the
back and inquired why the man
seemed so worried The friend sold
Ia bank failure had nearly wrecked
his firms credit standing and orders
were being Cancelled so fast that
disaster was at hand.
Mr.. Newman went straight to the

the confidence necessary for re-
newal Of credit, then brought all the
parties together in a meeting that
