Nothing succeeds like success, and the success that is crowning Joseph Liebler's efforts iu the insurance business verify this statement. Most everybody knows Joseph Liebler is the hustling anil ener getic district manager of the Manhattan Life Insurance Company of New York, and has been doing a mammoth business in that line for seme time past. He has just returned from a business tnp to Pittsburg, where he had been called to insure his brother-in-law, Peter Schott, the well-known trunk manufacturer of | Lawrenceville, for fio,oto, and his two sons Lawrence and George, for f5,000 and and $2,000 respectively. Among the many policies taken out in the last three weeks are the following: Charles L. Conway, ! liveryman, »5,c jo; W» H. Kitler. the well known nominee for the senate on the Repnblican ticket, $ 5,000; Christ Fletch er, the hackman for Gregg, |2,0c 0; Mr. Niblock, of Petersville, fainter, Mrs. Mary K. Thompson, |i, 000; William F. McCandless, well-known agriculturist and berry grower of Mt. Chestnut, $5,000; John Weyman, farmer, #S,CDO; John W. Conard, of Carbon Centre, oil producer, fs,o< >; G. W. Geisler, faimer of Herman, ft, 000; W. B. Hamilton, an accident in surance agent of Pittsburg, L. A. Mitchell, £2,000; Harry G. ieb, the popu lar and accommodating jeweler, $5,000. and his son Eddie, ?2,c to. These have all been gotten in the last three weeks, 1 and while there are quite a lot of them, they do not equal 'he business done by liim tlie week he insured the Michel family for $60,0 x, the wealthy oil peo ple of* Herman, and Mr. Liebler has often said he wished there were more Michel families around as they know a good thing when they see it. All that have not insured are cnr«villj- im-ite l U> cctl 011 Mr. Liebler at his office, next door to postjffice, where he will make it pleasant for everybody, ladies especially, as he is a ladies' man, and knows how to enter tain them. Do not forget that the Man hattan Life is the oldest and most reliable life insurance company in the world, and that a well-known Butler county man, Joseph Liebler, ip district manager.
