The Iowa geenral agency is keeping
up the work of the three months' con
test period well. The Pacific Mutual
company is well known in the Hawk
eye state and its record for honesty,
fairness and careful attention to its
obligations has placed it high on the
list of the most popular companies.
To the value of the policy in itself, as
much as to the ability of the Ottum
wa general agents, may well be con
tributed the credit for their victory.

"(y {in tf

I
cific Mutual, the home office of which
is located at San Francisco, decided
to oiler a special inducement to the
general agents of tho company
throughout the United States, in order
to increase the business of the con
cern. There are about forty men and
firms which are eligible to the con
test, it being for none but general and
state agents and general managers.
Accordingly announcements were sent
out to the various prospective contest
ants and all entered into the contest
with a vim. Corrick & Hogue, who
have charge of all the business for the
Pacific Mutual in Iowa, began to work
for the prize on the first day, April
24, and between that date and July 24
the Iowa general agency wrote a heavy
business. On July 24 the contest
closed and the amount of paid busi
ness sent in by each of the contest
ants decided the result. In order to
make the contest as nearly even as
possible, an allotment of the busi
ness each agency was expected to
write during the three months was
made by the home officials and the
standing of the contestants was bas
ed upon the percentage over and
above this allotment that was reported
and paid for during the period named
in the provisions for the contest.
The fact that Corrick & Hogue fin
ished among the first five in such a
trial of ability as insurance agents
stamps them as successful agents and
managers. Not only did they have
to keep the business of the Ottumwa
office up to a high standard but they
had to watch the work of their num
erous agents throughout the state, all
of which is in the territory directly
under the supervision of the general
office at Ottumwa. Pitted against
them were some of the strongest life
insurance men in the United States,
and tho prize, which is worth hun
dreds of dollars to each succesful con
testant, was rich enough to urge all
to put forth their very best efforts.
The splendid value of the trip is bet
ter realized when it is known that the
provisions of the contract specify that
the winners may be accompanied by
their wives, all the expenses to be
paid by the home office.
