Bollinger '46 ,- Robert E. Froom—Youngstown, Ohio

©

In 1940 I was studying to be a Civil Engineer at Ohio State University. In 1941 I was inducted, spent a good deal of time "paddling a saddle" in the Horse Cavalry, and then became an Aviation Cadet. After receiving my wings, I was assigned to the Air Transport Command, winding up my activities flying the "Hump."

Two days before V-J Day, I received a cablegram telling me of my father's death. Dad had been a New England Mutual policyholder so, shortly after returning home, I was introduced to the Company's representative in Youngstown, Harley Kirkpatrick. I soon realized that Mr. Kirkpatrick had been of invaluable service to my father and to the whole family. When he learned that I wanted to go into business for myself, he suggested life insurance, and arranged- an interview with the General Agent in Cleveland, and with the Home Office in Boston.

Investigation convinced me that as an Agent for New England Mutual I would basically be in business for myself—with no"real ceiling on my earnings, and complete independence of action. With everything to gain and nothing to lose, I took the Companyfs aptitude test, and qualified.

To date, I have completed a thorough training course in the Home Office in Boston; I have attended two Company conventions; I have my own office, and I have placed a half million dollars of insurance on the lives of people in my community. Each day I discover new uses for life insurance and realize that there's no © limit to the amount that will be bought in the future. Iτm certainly glad I chose life insurance as a career. Besides the earning possibilities and the independence, it gives me the deep satisfaction of knowing that my services can be as valuable to my clients as were those of Mr. Kirkpatrick to my own family.

Graduates of our Home Office training courses, many of them as these helped Bob Froom solve his career problem. For new to the business, are selling at a rate which produces average additional facts and figures, write: Mr. H. C. Chaney, Director first-year incomes of $3600.

There will be no academic deficit because the President, his Staff, and the Faculty have acted according to "Cornell Tradition." "The price of academic freedom, coupled with sol- vency, is sleepless nights for the High Command," says Romeyn Berry. He might have added that the mainte- nance of Cornell as a free institution of learning is an opportunity for ser- vice and a privilege of free men. To be a part of Cornell one must serve her; serving her just now means reach- ing the Alumni Fund goal of Four Hundred Thousand Dollars on June 30, 1948. The Class of 1916 is glad to share in this undertaking.

IT MAY BE your conscience speaking. It may be saying: "Save some of that money, mister. Your future depends on it!" Listen closely next time. Those are words of wis- dom. Your future —and that of your family—does depend on the money you put aside in savings. If you can hear that voice speaking clearly, do this: Start now on the road to automatic saving by signing up on your company's Payroll Savings Plan for the purchase of U.S. Savings Bonds. There's no better, no surer way to save money. Surer because it's automatic .. .better because it pays you back four dollars for every three you invest. Do it now. If you can't join the Payroll Savings Plan, tell your banker to enroll you in the Bond- A-Month Plan that enables you to purchase a bond a month through your checking account. Remember — better save than sorry!
