CONGRATULATIONS TO EMMERSON INSURANCE ON YOUR 75TH ANNIVERSARY! from the staff of Nuts About Chocolate Queen St., Port Perry EMMERSON INSURANCE On Jour 79th Anniversary. We extend best wishes for continued success. North Waterloo ---- x) FARMERS MUTUAL \& INSURANCE COMPANY Waterloo, Ontario From Page 21 Larry Emmerson says he's seen business triple for Emmerson Insurance. He said in the begin- ning, more than 90 per cent of the accounts were from Port Perry and area, but now they have accounts in every pro- vince across Canada. "We have three national accounts, many in Toronto and continue to see our sales growth increase by 10 per cent each year," he said. Mr. Emmerson says the insurance business has become much more high-tech over the past few years, and in the | mid- 1980s the company installed a computerized system for files, accounts, bookkeeping and statements. "We do a lot of business by fax machine, and have three cellular phones. But when I first started, it was a big deal just to have a photocopi- er," Mr. Emmerson said. As a result of the cur- rent recession, the number of insurance claims has increased in recent years and collect- ing accounts has become the toughest task. But overall, this has not affected their sales growth, and the compa- ny's success continues, just as it has over the past 75 years. Emmerson Insurance currently employs six insurance brokers and one accountant. Staff members are Larry Emmerson, Jack Dowson, Lynda Morrow, Reg Manns, Louanne Brown, Jean Cuddie, Bill Dowson and Grace Manns [Le BEST WISHES to the Management & Staff of EMMERSON INSURANCE BROKERS on your/ th Anniversary We wish you continued success for the future wi Wellington ulin p= Wellington insurance Company 1400 Bayly Street, Unit 20, Pickering Phone (416) 420-8600 Toll Free 1-800-263-4406 = on your 75th Anniversary.
