MARCH is still FISHMAN MONTH in Detroit

It was way back in March 1912—thirty nine years ago—that Morris Fishman, my father, first entered

the life insurance business, During all those years he formed literally thousands of warm friendships
through the rendering of the insurance service in which he believed so firmly.

Many a boy and girl owe their college education to his persistence and salesmanship; Many a widow

owes him thanks for a mortgage-free home and a lifetime income; Many an old man's retirement

has been made possible because of his tirelessness.

So, although my father has gone, March is still FISHMAN MONTH IN DETROIT. And it will continue
to be as long as I am able to carry on his great work.

My associates and I are very proud of the recent records of our accomplishments. In January and February
of this year, the HERMAN FISHMAN AGENCY ,has accepted more than a half million dollars worth
of new business in insured savings alone. We trust the months and years ahead will see many
more people avail themselves of the wonderful opportunity to save and have, to be sure and not sorry.

We thank you for the privilege of serving you in the past and we look forward to serving you in the future.

Very Sincerely Yours,
HERMAN FISHMAN,

GENERAL AGENT
