They pledged him their wholehearted cooperation and support and we urge the members of Branch 45 to follow the example of their elected officials in cooperating with their new District Manager whose wide experience and knowhow in all insurance matters, as well as his courtesy and sincere friendliness, assures them of efficient service and utmost consideration on his part. Cordially welcoming District Manager Emery Sobony, Jr., to our growing staff of professional field workers, we wish him the best of success and a splendid and rewarding future in his new position.
