insurer in 1925, Nationwide Insurance has expanded to become one of the
largest insurance companies in the world. Today, the company provides a
full range of personalized insurance and financial services, including
auto, motorcycle, boat, homeowners, life, farm and commercial

savings plans and even a bank.
Wiki Says
Nationwide Mutual Insurance Company &
Affiliated
Companies is a group of large U.S. insurance and financial services
companies. On December 17, 1925, the Ohio Farm Bureau Federation
incorporated the Farm Bureau Mutual Automobile Insurance Company in
Columbus, Ohio. At that time, Ohio law required 100 people to pledge to
become policyholders. The first agents managed to recruit 10 times that
number and on April 12, 1926, Farm Bureau Mutual opened its doors.
The first product of the new company was car insurance. The company
wrote policies only to Ohio farmers. In 1928, Farm Bureau Mutual began
offering policies to West Virginia farmers, followed by Maryland,
Delaware, Vermont and North Carolina. Farm Bureau Mutual began
underwriting policies for residents of small towns in 1931 and for
residents of larger cities in 1934.
