Nearing the End of John Bencze Campaign The John Bencze 25th Anniversary Membership Campaign, which began July 1, 1954, will next mopth reach its conclusion. This membership drive, the latest, 3s in honor of our National President who has spent 25 years of service in the Home Office. How much has been done toward the success of this newest search for more members? The results until now have been gratifying and the general cooperation shown is one of the best yet. But the good is not the best — and the BEST is what we Verhovavans must aim for. There is just a little more than a month left before the word “finis” applies to the John Bencze 25th Anniversary Membership Campaign. Make the final month, December, the superdrive month, the final-push month — for the best six months membership drive in the history of Verhovay. Our full-time field force, the field supervisors, the traveling district managers, and the district managers, have been giving yeoman service to the campaign. Many of our branch managers are doing well too. Wherein then lies room for greater improvement? The answer is in the individual members who possess many possibilities for literally charging this campaign to a glorious finish. Every member has friends and acquaintances. Among them are prospects — Verhovay prospects. With the individual members going all-out in recommending prospects, the results — and this is not a figment of the imagination — would be astounding. It is as simple as these few foregoing words. EVERY VERHOVAY MEMBER IS URGED TO RECOMMEND FROM AMONG HIS ACQUAINTANCES AND FRIENDS PROSPECTS FOR VERHOVAY, AND TURN OVER THEIR NAMES TO OUR FIELD MEN AND OUR BRANCH MANAGERS, i Bring the John Bencze 25th Anniversary Membership Campaign to an undreamed of conclusion!
