Gibson v. J.T. Allen Agency

Allen, a general agent for Kansas City Life Insurance Company, appointed Gibson as a sub-agent or insurance salesman for the company. Allen claimed Gibsons sole compensation under that appointment was to be commissions upon Gibsons sales of insurance policies. However, in order to assist Gibson while he was getting started as such insurance salesman, Allen agreed to and did advance Gibson for his living expenses the sum of $650 per month, and Allen also paid certain of Gibsons obligations, all totaling an advance to Gibson of $4,574.02, for which sum Allen sought judgment against Gibson.
