MEN WANTED!
<1 We have places for a number of good, live men in the field. The proposition we are offering is very inviting to young men with “ginger.”
CJ We want young men! This is a young man’s company — managed and officered by young men, and our policies are such that appeal particularly to young men seeking life insurance. Then it is the young man who looks forward to, and willing to work for, future advancement, and to such we are in a position to offer all the opportunities that an ambitious young man could desire.
*I There is always a position open with us for clean, honorable and reliable young and middle-aged men who are willing to sell life insurance honestly at wages that the selling of an honest proposition deserves.
<1 Surely no policy is so easy to sell, because the people want a Square Deal — and the Pioneer Life gives it to them.

The Business Monthly
The First National Bank of Pittsburgh has issued the September number of its “Business Monthly,” with the usual resume of happenings in this busy community, with special reference to financial and industrial affairs. There is a description of the new building to be erected by the bank, and a picture of the New York terminal building of the Pennsylvania railroad, a fine piece of modern railway architecture.

Chicago Vice-Presidents’ Views
Vice-president Alexander Robertson of the Continental National says:
“We have customers in manufacturing and other lines who owe us, at this season in normal times, from $200,000 to $300,000, and now owe us not one cent. General business is improving, but it has scarcely reached the banks yet. A material improvement will come after election, no matter how the election goes. It is uncertainty that hurts business.”
Vice-president Moulton, of the Corn Exchange National says: “The banks are in excellent position to meet any requirements. Crops are large, and we expect a correspondingly heavy call for currency.”
Vice-president Blum, of the First National,
