MEN WANTED!
<J 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.”
<U 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.
€| 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.
•J Surely no policy is so easy to sell, because the people want a Square Deal and the Pioneer Life gives it to them.

Eau Claire as a Banking Center
The banking transactions of a city are recognized as the true index to the prosperity of the people. Measured by this scale, the financial condition of Eau Claire (Wis.) is certainly very flattering. The capital invested in its four banks represents $505,000, with deposits of $3,-400,000, making a grand total of $3,905,000, of $170 per capita for every man, woman, and child of Eau Claire’s population of 22,000.
The Union National dates its origin back to the Chippewa Valley Bank, established in 1874, and the Bank of Eau Claire in 1872, both of which were the popular banking houses of their day. In 1906 the Union National was organized, and has a capital of $200,000, with surplus and earnings of $35,000. It occupies its own building, a two-story brick, size 27x94, fitted up with all modern conveniences known to the banking business, and in addition has steel vaults resting on concrete foundation that guard the safety deposit boxes and burglar proof safes, with silver chests, protected by triple time locks, making the Union National a safe and reliable banking house. The officers are: William P. Bartlett, president; James T. Joyce, vice-president; Marshall Cousins, cashier; Max E. Baumberger and Martin B. Syver-son, assistant cashiers; with the following board of directors: James T. Barber, William P. Bartlett, Byron A. Buffington, Charles T. Bundy, William L. Davis, Nathaniel C. Foster, Edward S.

Hugh Dougherty Tenders Resignation
Hugh Dougherty, who has been president of the Federal Union Surety Company of Indianapolis ever since its organization, tendered his resignation some weeks ago because of his time being largely taken up through his duties to the Marion Trust Company as president. 'Phe board finding it difficult to find a successor, delayed its acceptance. Ex-Governor W. T. Durbin was induced by the directors to accept the presidency and he immediately takes charge as executive officer. The business of the company has been growing from year to year and is doing business in eighteen states, but its business has increased at a greater ratio in Indiana than any of the other states, because of the standing of the men associated with it as directors and officers. Last year the net premiums were $90,000 in Indiana alone. The future of the company was never brighter than it is to-day. Under the management of Mr. Durbin, who will give it his entire time, its success is assured.
