Cincinnati Financial Corporation
An insurance holding company whose lead subsidiary, The Cincinnati Insurance Company, sells home, auto, business, and workers' compensation coverage through independent agents across dozens of states. It was founded in 1950 by four independent agents who named it after their hometown of Cincinnati, Ohio, building it as a carrier run by and for fellow agents. Company lore holds that co-founders Jack Schiff Sr. and Bob Morgan once drove round-trip to Michigan just to attend the wake of an associate's father.
