less. He said what most of us black
folk were afraid to say publicly. When

be heard ricocheting ofT the squalid

I remember Malcolm's complete
devotion to Elijah Muhammad and
his words when he was serving as the
Muslims' spokesman: "All that Mu·

Malcolm \\as not after power in the

personal charm, his remarkable abil·

him that power. With Elijah aging

who sold you the insurance?
If he's an independent agent representing several strong in-
surance companies, he's probllbly at your side immedkltely
when you have a loss.
An impartial research organization confirmed this re-
cently. At the same time, their survey showed that salesmen
who work for only one company trail by a wide percentage
in offering the same kind of help. They can·t of!:cr you a
choice of insurance companies, and their service usually ends
when they have sold you the policy their company offers.
So, calling an independent agent makes good sense when
you buy automobile insurance. He'll be there. on your side,
helping in a dozen ways if you do have a n accident.
Maybe you ought to find out right now if yo ur insurance
agent is qualified to display this seal.
