GEORGE RICH. Proprietor
An Open Letter to Every Citizen of Nenana
r
>•
Dear Sir and Madam:
I write you to fulfill a duty that is imposed on me, and me
alone, toward you and every other person in Nenana who has, or
may have, dependents.
That duty demands that I do my best to SELL you-iife insur
ance; for you can’t buy life insurance from a blacksmith and,
quite probably, you won't buy it from anybody unless it is SOLD
to you. Unless you are persuaded. Unless you are converted to the
religion of life insurance.
I figure that I have a moral obligation to every child, every
wife, every mother, within reach and 1 want to live up to my very
apparent duty.
What a sham the ordinary friend, business adviser, business part
ner or associate is when the real time comes that a FRIEND is
needed by a man’s family! Can’t you close your eyes and see this
picture:
There died today a young man who in his own mind was
confident that he needed no life insurance. His employer
or some fool associate told him that he could do better
with his money. Tonight, or tomorrow, when that little
woman, his wife, closes the front door and all her friends,
her spiritual adviser, and her husband’s employer, have
left the house, leaving behind their sympathy and many
boquets of flowers, she’ll go into the back room alone
where the baby lies asleep, and there in her grief she'll
put her head down on the table and weep her heart out.
The facts are she knows from now on her husband’s
friends will forget that he hag lived and the only real
sure-enough friend they had was the persistent, hard
headed life insurance agent who insured him against his
will, against his poor judgment, against every other thing
on earth for $5000.
Do you blame me, therefore, for believing that if I let some good
husband or father in Nenana die and leave his family without life
insurance, without my having at least tried to sell him life insur
ance, I ought to be made to support the family.
I WILL SELL YOU INSURANTS if you give me an oppor
tunity to explain the policy that be?‘ -uits your case, for I repre
sent the New York Life Insurance Company, than which there is
none better in the world, and I can convince you that life insur
ance is a SAYING, not an expen.-.-, a PROTECTION for YOUR
SELF that you cannot afford to be without. I can sell you PEACE
OF MIND and SATISFACTION WITH YOURSELF at "a price you
cannot duplicate in any other way. This whether you are man or
woman, married or single. I have a policy—endowment, limited pay
ment or ordinary life—to fit most every man. woman and c-hiln
in Nenana.
Forget that old stuff about having to die to beat the life in
surance game. Living patrons of the New York Life Insurance
Company, during the quarter ending September 30th, received
almost three times as much as he beneficiaries of those that died
The figures are interesting: In July, August and September, 1921.
the New York Life paid to 41,234 LIVING policy holders *21,218.
070.34, and paid to the beneficiaries of 2,987 deceased policy
holders *8,089,845.54.
Not all who want life insurance can get it- In the same three
months 4,361 applicants were denied. They had delayed too long
and had become risks too hazardous for the Company to accept.
They applied for more than eighteen million dollar? of insurance.
I would call to your attention the fact that all of our flu
victims (nearly 40) carried between them, to the best of my
knowledge based on investigation, less than $15,000 of life insur
ance. I have since placed by twelve months' canvassing about
*200,000—and I don’t believe you could convince any one of
those I have insured that he or she has not made a good buy.
I am planning to leave Nenana this month and the date of
ray return is uncertain. I shall be in my office all day and during
the evening ready to talk- life insurance at any hour. Or, if you
prefer. I will call at the house by appointment. Won't you give
»e a chance to fulfil] that duty I have referred to above?
