'God Has Been Good to Me/
Tubby Walton Vows
Some people who became epileptic in their later years
might ignore all the blessings and berate God for their bad
fortune. ।
now I can take money I earn from this gift and give it
into a fund for others." Tubby said this week.
“My friends have been good to me. I gained wealth as
a salesman only because my friends believed in me. They
knew I was honest and so I could sell them anything."
Tubby, one of the greatest salesmen in the world, made
his fortune selling contracts in Investors Syndicate. The
word is that he is a millionaire and we believe it, because
he was a magnificent salesman until he retired. If he had
not contracted epilepsy he probably would be still selling
contracts.
"Make no mistake about it, God has been good to me,”
Tubby repeated. “I could not have done anything without
His blessings."
We wish Tubby a longer life even if he has to battle epi- I
lepsy. He always has been a battler and a wonderful man ।
in all respects. His family loves him.
When he approached a prospect to sell a contract, Tub
by’s opening line usually was—" Look here, Cousin, I can
help you from dying broke.” And he truly helped many a
man to lay something aside for a rainy day.
The Atlanta Optimist Club had a day for Tubby Friday |
at the Atlanta Shrine Club. The records and book went on
sale and, all in all, it was a great day of Tubby whom we ।
have admired through the years.
