WEDNESDAY. MARCH 18.1891Iusamnt'e Agents’ Profits.First class life insurance agents who can approach what the companies call “big fish” earn almost fabulous amounts of money. A gentleman who represented one of the big New York companies In this city for a number of years, and who never “touched” a man for less than a $10,000 life policy, was wont to boast that his annual ineome never fell below $30,000. He was telling the truth, too. Mr. Gildendigit was a great success as a solicitor. His company transferred him to New York, where ho had a wider field of work. There he was as successful as he was in Cincinnati, and lie flaunted in every cafe and bar in Broadway between Union square and the Gilsey house the certified cheek for his commission. The check was for §30,000, and he boasted that he had “landed his fish” In one month.This accomplished life insurance solicitor was sent to Berlin by his company, and reports from the German capita] on the banks of the Spree are to the effect that there he is doing quite as well as the gentleman who kept the hotel. This man was “self made” in all that the term implies, for when he first came to Cincinnati he worked as a common laborer in a yeast manufactoryWith their Dates, and the Names of the Gentlemen Officiating.Court House News.From Saturday's Daily Times.18-18dan. 2.
