SYNOPSIS OF STAFF

ACENr 



VIRGINIA P'lLSON, General Insurance Secretary. 



Virginia has been assisting Farm Bureau Members with their insurance problems and claims the past three 

 and one-half years. The tremendous growth of new policyholders together with those already on the books 

 has added considerably to the responsibility of her department. Farm Bureau people of Knox County are 

 lOO'/r in accord that Virginia's courteous and e.ficient service is a definite asset to their insurance depart- 

 ment and the Farm Bureau organization in general. 



FRANCES COX, Policy Holders Service Department. 



Frances has just recently started with the insurance department. She will assist in the service and records 

 of present policyholders. Her duties will include the issuing of all Crop Hail policies and tabulation of 

 record cards. Frances is well known among Farm People in this County due to her close association with 

 the Rural Youth Organization. We believe her knowledge of farming and farm problems will be utilized 

 by this department and make a better service to policyholders. 



AVAYNE LEINBACH, General Agent, Knox County. 



After starting in th« insurance business in Henderson County in 1938 he was transferred to Rock Island 

 County as General Agent in 1939. and transferred from that County in 1947 to Knox County as Insurance 

 Director. It is his responsibility to administer the insurance progrram and see that proper promotion pro- 

 cedure is applied to guarantee proper acquisition of all insurance services. Recruiting and training of 

 agents, office administration, claims and County problems are the major responsibility of his progrmm. 



JOHN LUSK, Adjuster, Country Mutual Casualty Company. 



Last year John handled 742 claims for Knox County. This number included both claims for car and truck 

 as well as the general and Employers Liability. John adjusts for Warren. Mercer and Henderson Counties 

 also. He has approximately 8,000 policies in his district that really make a .jnan-sized job. He b?gan 

 his duties as adjuster in October, 1946. Everyone appreciates the fact that John's duties are sometimes 

 very difficult and that his work has been satisfactory to both Policyiiolder and Company. 



REUBEN E. JOHNSON, Agent — Cedar. Orange, Indian Point and Chestnut. 



Starting in 1934 he serviced farm people on a part-time basis and on December 15, 1948, Reuben started 

 on a full-time program as insurance Representative. Farm Bureau Members appreciate his true Farm 

 Bureau spirit and willingness to help in all cooperative projects. Reuben has always been well at the top 

 for production of Life and Casualty insurance among agents of the State. Quotas to him are but a chal- 

 lenge to do a good job still better. 



JOHN K. CALLOW, Agent — Rio, Henderson, Ontario and Persifcr. 



John began his insurance career in Rock Island County in 1946. Then transferred to Knox County in 

 1947. John has used the "every member canvass" method to service his membership. This has resulted 

 in top production for all three Companies of the Farm Bureau. His willingness to assist in all Fum 

 Bureau projects and his "easy-to-get-acquainted" manner has classified him as a good insurance underwriter. 



A. N. SKINNER, Agent — Salem, Elba, Truro and Maquon Townships. 



Albert is the senior member of the entire insurance stalT, having started with the Farm Bureau in 1929. 

 These many years of insurance work have qualified him as an excellent underwriter. He stands high in 

 esteem of his Farm Bureau Members as a counsellor for their insurance problems. His ability to govern 

 himself to "do it now," ranks him high among our members as well as insuranse men of the State. 



RAY JOHNSTON, Agent — Copley, Victoria, Lynn and Walnut Grove Town.ships. 



Ray started with the Insurance Service in 1934 on a part-time basis. He continued on this basis until 

 March 1, 1949, when he adopted the "Full Time Program." For many years his production has been in 

 the top brackets for part-time agents. He Lias equalled or surpassed his quota for Life Insurance on 14 

 occasions. His peppy spirit and jovial disposition will rank him as one of the good "Full Time" Agents. 

 Farmers in his district know that his success as a farmer and hog-hreeder qualify him to determine their 

 Farm Insurance needs from actual experience.
