Description

The Beck Insurance Agency was founded by Vincent S. Beck. Vincent started his agency in 1948, working out of his parents' Pettisville, Ohio home. Vincent became a licensed insurance agent for Northwestern Mutual Life Insurance Company. Starting with only a rate book, applications, and a pen, his business began to grow. In 1949 Vincent was married to Mary Schmucker and the two moved to Archbold, Ohio. They soon moved into their new home located at 106 Stryker Street. (The current location of the Frey & Son's Realty building) Insurance business was con- ducted out of the front of this house for the next eleven years. During this time, Vincent became licensed to sell a full line of insurance. At the same time, Vincent's wife Mary also became a licensed insurance agent and was active in the business. Some of the companies that they represented over the years include: Shelby Mutual, Mansfield Mutual, Buckeye State Mutual, Hanover, Great American Insurance Co., Midwestern Indemnity Co., Auto-Owners Insurance Co., Aetna Fire & Casualty, Patrons Mutual, Ohio Casualty, Toledo National, Transamerica, Wolverine Insurance Co., Buckeye Union Insurance Co., USF&G Co., Celina Mutual, Progressive, and Union Mutual Life Insurance Company. Around 1960, Vincent purchased an interest in the building at 120 N. Defiance Street, downtown Archbold, from Lester Rich. This was the former "Jimmy Schnetzler Grocery Store". It was here that the Agency was moved to and still is our present location...
