Show Make It A Quartet! In a recent address, Dr. S. S. Huebner, Dean of the American College of Life Underwriters, and a member of the faculty of the University of Pennsylvania, observed ob-served that when we want counsel coun-sel regarding financial and business bus-iness matters we go to members of three professions the lawyer, the banker and the accountant. He then said that this trio should be changed into a quartet, by adding life underwriters. That is certainly a sound idea. The work of the life underwriter is similar to that of the lawyer and the banker, in that each deals with our future, and can help in the solution of problems we bring to him. Nothing is more vital to society than life insurance insur-ance nothing is so intimately related re-lated to our own financial safety and that of our dependents. The good life insurance salesman, as Dr. Huebner pointed out, is not a drummer of a standardized commodity he is a teacher of ideas. Most of us would be a good deal better off today had e. back in 1926-29, looked on the insurance in-surance underwriter in that light, instead of trying to avoid him. No other investment is as safe as life insurance-few others have managed to survive the crash with out depreciation in value. l& hundreds of thousands of men, life insurance policies are the only on-ly things of definite value lei-from lei-from once-sizable estates. The lawyer, the banker, the accountant ac-countant and the life underwriter there is no better quartet than that to care for our economic well being. |
