He scaled down overly generous interest rates, introduced stiffer medical examinations and began to train Mutual's loosely assembled staff of agents. By 1943 the firm was enough in the black to make its first dividend payment-and has not missed one since. North Carolina-born Spaulding, now 61, became president...
