Kemper Corporation
An insurance company based in Chicago that sells auto, home, life, and health coverage to families, plus specialty insurance for businesses through brands like Kemper Auto and Kemper Life. Its roots trace to 1912, when James S. Kemper founded Lumbermens Mutual Casualty Company; the modern Kemper Corporation emerged in 1990 from the reorganization of that original mutual group. Fun fact: the company's very name honors its founder, whose last name still fronts the brand more than a century later.
