Mutual Benefit Health and
Accident of Omaha to
Operate in Oregon
William P. Jarvls j general man
ager of the northwest division of
the Mutual Benefit Health and
Accident association, asserted, to
be the largest and strongest, or
ganization of its kin(J in the world,
yesterday announced the appoint
ment of II. K. Coffey as chief of
the Oregon office of the company.
Jarris with Coffey arrived In Port
land this week' from Oakland,
Cal..- where the Pacific coast of
fices of the company are located.
He has just established headquar
ters in the .Northwestern National
Bank building, Portland:
i He Is Oregon Man
COffey is a former Oregonian.
For ' several years j he has been
operating out of Jarvis California
office and has established a record
as one . of the leading individual
producers with the J Mutual Bene
fit company. He is well known
on the Pacific coa$t as an out
standing figure in jthe insurance
field. Coffey says; tjnat he is Klad
to return to his former home re
newing business and social ac
quaintances as the: . managei of
his company in thi territory.
The building up! In a few years
of one of the largest health and
accident insurance agencies in ex
istence, judged by Its volume of
business, is the remirkable record
of Jarvis.llThe annual premium
income of' his agency is now con
siderably in excess! of $750,000,
and the magnitude! f the achieve
ment Is realized when considera
tion is given to the fact that there
are 79 health and laccident com
panies operating in California, and
for 1923 the Mutiail Benefit was
second in the entire state in
amount of annual premium in
come. Jarvls expects that when
final returns for 1924 are tabu
lated the premium Income of his
agency will reach nearly a million
dollars. i
Jarvis had the 'distinction of
writing the first Mutual Benefit
policy in California: in the latter
part of 1918. From that day he
has consistently progressed until
he has more than 300 agents in
the field in California alone.
Following the plan of operation
that has proved so j successful for
the organization in California, it
is the intention of; the company
to immediately extend its opera
tions throughout every county and
town in Oregon, With the appoint
ment of agents and, sub-agents.
A General Agent In Salem
. A' general agent for the Mutual
Benefit Health and Accident as
sociation will be j appointed in
Salem through the Portland of
fice of the company, Coffey states.
- Discussing the phenomenal suc
cess of his organization in Cali
fornia, Jarvis said: "Although
we have been doing business in
California for only six years, dur
ing this period- we claim to have
sold more policies than any other
insurance company doing business
in that state and some of them
have been established there for 60
years. Last year; we paid more
than $400,000 In claims alone in
the state. We estimate that when
returns for 1924 are complete we
will have paid more than $500,000
In 1nma " ' - ! i i
(' The company will follow in Or
egon a special plan of cooperation
with agents throughout the state,
according to Mr. Coffey. .
