INSTANCE COMPANY
COLUMBIA a C.
Some months ago when Lester
Bates, a friend of mine of many
years, learned thjkt I had sold my
newspaper and was "badly in need
of work, and offered me a place
in his organization, The Capital
Life and Health Insurance Com
pany. I was rather hesitant about
taking the job. I told him that as
much as I would like to become
connected with his company, I
was a newspaper man and knew
little about the insurance busi
ness. He explained to me that
he had in mind starting an ad
vertising campaign with the lo
cal newspapers of the state, and
that he thought preparing and
placing this schedule would be
right in my line.
1 was still doubtful. I had
written ads for lost dogs, stray
ed wives, wandering husbands,
clearance sales, used cars, etc.,
etc., but I wouldn't know how to
write advertising for an insurance
company. But Lester is a very
convincing person, and he had little trouble con
vincing me as to the decision I should make.
The first part of my task was very pleasant in
deed: in fact, when this was explained to me, it
had a great deal to do with helping me make up
my mind. I was told that my initial duty would
be to visit all the newspaper offices in the state,
make contracts, and arrange for the advertising.
This required me to spend six weeks on the road
“and travel approximately 3,000 miles. ,
Now I am back where I started, with those in
surance ads to write. After worrying over this far
several weeks, I came to a happy thought, and said;
“Mr. Bates, you have been in the insurance
LESTER
business since you were a mere
boy, and have made a wonderful
success with the Capital Life.
You know insurance inside and
out, and are an expert on every
phase of it. You are the man to
write these ads Why entrust an
important job like .this to a nov
ice. when you yourself can do
it so much better? I, in my ig
norance cf the insurance business,
might get you and the Capital
Lile m trouble by making state-
inents you could not live up to.
I might* even tell folks they
could pty $1 00 a week and draw
cown 12 00 every Saturday Why
rot try your hand at it?”
He saw the wisdom of this and
agreed to do so for a while,
iit the provision that if he
JEk fe. \ doesn't like it. or gets tired of it.
Bp. IjL . J he will tum it over to me. He
fljk' » '-‘-d lf 1 - ’ l tM dumb I mig(-.:
i earn something about insurance
in a month or so, and be able to
do the job he is paying me to dc.
You start off and show me how,
and if you wish later, I will take over.”
So, friends, let me introduce our President, Les
ter L. Bates, who will take over my job for at
least the next couple of months and maybe longer
I think he will have something worthwhile to
say. and that you will enjoy reading his column
in Jh» paper each week.
Mr. Bates. Thanks.
