The item further says, speaking of the 30 years of his service as general manager: "During this period, owing largely to hisindustry and efficiency, the Company developed from a very modest status to itscommanding size and position of today."

These agents, in a special, six-day, secret drive had written new business to the recordbreaking amount of $691,659 as a birthday remembrance for the president.
