GEORGE W. DUNN PHILADELPHIA,PA.
How did I make the transition from a Teachers' College to
the life insurance business? Here is about how it happened.
I waved a fond farewell to Moorhead State Teachers' College,
Minnesota, in the spring of 1941, and settled down to do some
serious thinking concerning my future. Uncle Sam.supplied some
of the answers in September of that year, and for the next five
years the Army Air Corps was my boss, and my address was a
succession of Army Air Bases and A.P.O. numbers, which stretched
from Colorado to Scotland, England, Africa, Italy and Corsica.
For two of these years it was my good fortune to be associated
with a brother officer, M Cap fl Haines, in civilian life a
partner in New England Mutual's Philadelphia General Agency,
Moore and Haines. He, my wife—a U. S. Army nurse, whom I
married in Africa—and I spent long hours discussing life insurance
and its possibilities as a career for me. It offered all of
the things that I had ever hoped for in business: independence,
unlimited income possibilities and, most of all, a never-ending
challenge to my ability in a field where limits do not exist,
excepting as I alone set them.
Before I had finished my terminal leave, I was studying for
my Pennsylvania State Insurance examination, and was making field
trips with my friend from overseas.
Now, after two years, I am more convinced than ever that
there is no better future than that which the New England Mutual
offers. To prove my point, I have the support of my 97 policyholders,
and the one million dollars of new life insurance which
I have placed on their lives.
GRADUATES of our Home Office training courses,
practically all of them new to the life insurance
business, are selling at a rate which produces average
first-year incomes of $3600. The total yearly
income on such sales, with renewal commissions
added, will average $5700.
Facts such as these helped George Dunn solve
his career problem. If you'd like to know more,
