ORGANIC y CHEMICALS-- Modern Medicine Men The modern treatment of disease involves many factors— among which chemotherapy becomes more vital every day. In the treatment of disease and disabling allergies, medicines synthesized from organic chemicals have replaced many of the less specific medicinal agents of past generations. Such medicinals as the sulfonamides, penicillin, streptomycin, anti-histamines and aspirin, either comfort the patient or make the control of his illness far more certain and effective. In each case the broad availability of these drugs has been made possible by the development of synthetic organic chemicals which are necessary to their manufacture. Carbide and Carbon Chemicals has pioneered in synthesizing and producing, on a large scale, dependable organic chemicals. Our technical representatives are well qualified to help you make the best use of them in the development of your product.

WILLIAM B. JADDEN— LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA e Two months before my release to inactive duty from the Navy, I began to think seriously about a peacetime career. I had a Master's degree in business administration, and almost four years of supervisory experience with a leading aircraft concern in Los Angeles. But I realized that going back to the aircraft company might mean the same kind of seniority drawbacks as in the Navy, and my earnings wouldn f t necessarily be in direct proportion to the work I put in. Besides, the idea of working for myself appealed to me more strongly than ever. My first thought was to start a business of my own. But that would take a much larger investment than I could possibly make. About this time I recalled some New -England Mutual advertisements I had read in the Princeton Alumni Weekly, which reached me regularly overseas. I began to ask myself whether life insurance wouldn't give me more than^just another job. So I wrote the New England, and several other companies, for more information. The more I looked into it, the more Ixliked the idea of this business. e> When I got back to Los Angeles as a civilian, I called on the agencies of the six companies I regarded as tops in the field. I began a very lengthy analysis of the pros and cons of going into the business. My investigation convinced me that life insurance offered just about everything I was looking for--something in which I'd be my own master without making a heavy investment, where hard work couldn't help but increase my earnings, and where I'd never have to ask for a raise. I became convinced, too, that the New England Mutual was the Tiffany of life insurance companies. I took the aptitude test, then basic training here in our agency, followed by a comprehensive course* at the Home Office in Boston. Now, after qualifying for membership in the Company's Leaders Association in my first year, I can definitely say that I am happy I made this choice. The proof, I think, is that I have never once had the wellknown feeling that "the grass is greener on the other side of the fence." *Graduates of our Home Office training courses, many of them new to the 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 Bill Jadden solve his career problem. If you'd like to know more, write Mr. H. C. Chaney, Director of Agencies, New England Mutual Life Insurance Company, 501 Boylston Street, Boston 17, Massachusetts. Here are some of the Cornell men now with New England Mutual: Edson F.
