Campaign Tips

Many a life insurance
salesman has made a call
on new parents after read
ing the birth announce
ments in the newspaper.
only to find that the new
father has already taken
out insurance on the new
baby or else has said mo"
to every agent who called.
Here's an idea! In the
local library, review the
birth announcements Of
five or six years ago. Then
check with the city direc-
tory to see if the parents
of the baby are still living
in your city.
Call on them! Perhaps
they would like to have a
policy for Junior now or
perhaps the in 8 ur a &c e
bought when he was born
isn't enough. Is
Despite all the work al
ready done by life insur-
ance men, only a fraction
of those paying the S. S.
tax know what their Social
Security will do for them
or their families if they die.
It's still the best approach
to a family sale because 1t
fixes the prospects atten-
ton on a problem that on
ly you can solve for him.
