C. Young, standards manager; Van Oxner, supervisor carding; John Vassey, standards depart ment; Calvin Cooper, personnel di rector.

From there, they pro gressed through department after department — carding, spinning, spooling, slashing, weaving and cloth room.

S OME people are of the opin ion that we in the insurance business provide only indi vidual protection for-fhe policy holder. Some of us fail to realize the great contribution made by insurance companies toward the protection of the nation. During World War II insur ance companirs'ftivested approx imately $22 billion in U. S. Gov ernment securities, primarily war bonds. Not only did we contribute to - America’-s war effort, but an od- d.tiona! $l l 4 billion were invest ed in the preservation of Democ racy through financial assist ance to cur allies. Truly, every man who shoplders a gun, every plane that flies, every ship that sails; yes, every military force that strikes a’-death blow against the enemies cf Democracy, is supported bv our industry. Let there be no mistake about it, our military contribution to Democracy has equaled that of any other business. The above is not written in a .»pr boastfulness, but rather - : piration to our employ es, l..- as information to the public generally.
