Surety Business
Welton’s Theme
Marylander Tells Nebraska
Agents Keeping at It
Wins Success.
“Practieal Suggestions on Where to
Find Surety Business and How to De
velop it. Particularly in Smaller Com
munities,’' will be the subject Spencer
Welton, vice president of the Fidelity
and Deposit Company of Maryland
will talk on at the meeting of the Ne
braska Association of Local Insur
ance Agents, which ends in York to
day. •
Mr, Welton says apoken words must
heroine mental imaaes before the
brain reacts to them. He urges the
agent to capitalize calamity, and to
circularize everybody in his commu
nity when anything goaa wrong where
a bond la carried, or should have been
carried. The weak agent, he says
uses as an excuse that frequent mail
ings will Irritate the prospect. That
argument, states Mr. Welton, la as
weak as a Volstead cocktail.
"You can do anything, i( you try
hard enough, long enough, and re
member that no prospect la lost hope
lessly until ha Is closed up by tha
sheriff or undertaker.” he says. Ho
urges agents to keep up with tha
nows columns, pointing out to them
that editors and reporters are eager
at h 11 times tyr news topics and sto
ries with a "kick.”
Mr. Welton whs the guest of Harry
S. H.vrtie, resident vice president of
the Fidelity and Deposit Company of
Maryland, and Walter W. Head of
tha Omaha National hank, Wednes
day.
The American dollar has become
a novelty in Herlln, where each ahop
keeper and clerk Is anxious to have
at least one as a souvenir.
