Show THE CITIZEN TOoe Mara Mxsvoatt TTismra 7 r COPY! By BUI Durham Vioito OTtfo Endurance Men I was much interested in reading the recent newspaper accounts, wherein it was claimed that Mrs. Houdini had received messages thru the Spirit World from her departed husband. I believe every one hopes that we are near accomplishment of this phenomena but, there is one class of business men who hope and pray for it, much more than others. Their reasons are many, but paramount is the one that the departed would undoubtedly acknowledge that he or she was sorry and regretted that they did not follow the advice of some of those whom I will mention later, and leave their loved ones better provided for. Think of the satisfaction that Wallace Hunter of the Kansas City Life would receive if some of the many departed, who in their life time turned him down cold and neglected to follow his advice, would now acknowledge their error. Phil Purcell of Continental would be busy answering and acknowledging etheral messages every minute of the day for he has always been a constant plodder. Copy!" Hey, Bill, get on ten an take this blokes story. Somebody ran over his pooch an he wants to offer a reward Hello, hello! Whazzat? Well, migawd get on it ! Wait a minute, Ill have Johnson cover the police station. Follow the car! Say, Chief, the Telegram had a story on the Woolmens convention. The business office is howling. What are we gonna Tell the business office to go to aw whats the use? Copy! Boy, tell Tom that this Capitol story can go inside. Tell him that, see? Now, the musty archives of their office and read again the programme of life insurance they so diligently prepared and ably presented to the departed prospect, only to have it refused and coldly turned down. Charlie Barret and Burt Hunt of the Mutual Life, too, would be greatly pleased with their messages and Earl Crandall of the Lincoln National would feel very much perked up. Then the newer men like Fay Packard of the Missouri State, Joe Blithers, Gene Livingston, Charlie Mike, give them Woolmen a column. Get an interview. Get anything. Get out! do you Copy ! Bill, what-in-e- ll think we are running, a monthly? Theyre gonna shoot page 4 in two minutes, an if that Board story aint in get on 7 ! Andys got a hot shot on that Nigger killer. Make it Ross, Bill Salmon and the hundred others who have lined up with the new Pacific National could readily cut in on these messages and use them to great advantage as a clinching argument for the new business they are after. a bulletin! Step on it! Here, gimme a coupla paragraphs on this. Say, Lo, the poor' Indian might well be changed to read Lo the poor Insurance Agent, for no class of business men meet with the rebuffs that are accorded to them.
