We appointed Geo. C. "Chef Huggins -: and Chas. H. "Chuck" Huggins, and in .1940 the agency expanded to Salem to represent our companies in this territory. Our plan was (and still is) unusuaL , We accept ONLY the best fire insurance risks, which have fewer losses, and thus " reduce the net cost of insurance for own ers of such preferred risks. Like any liew .plan no matter how good it required considerable effort to establish.' The point we want to make is that Chet .cmd Qiuck Huggins became convinced : that the GENERAL OF AMERICA plan . was best for their customers. They knew V?,- it would provide better insurance at low er cost They also knew it would require a lot of hard work. But they tackled the " job - with sleeves rolled up, and you policyholders know the result for you. . In those days GENERAL OF AMERICA ranked 64th . among capital stock com panies in volume of premiums written. Today it ranks 16th largest in the United States. ' 1 . . It is through the hard work of men like Chet and Chuck Huggins all over Ameri ca" that this record growth has been achieved. We honor them on their 25th anniversary. It is the American way for men like them to take the Initiative in bringing to the people of this nation BET-i TER THINGS AT, LOWER COST. v Just as long as this spirit prevails Ameri ca can look forward to a future 'of hope and promise. ; ' " 't President GENERAL INSURANCE C.
