Like A Good Neighbor, State Farm Is There

A television advertisement has to compete with many distractions to get your attention.  Usually during the commercial is when you head to the kitchen for a snack.  But you know you’ve hit one out of the ballpark when television viewers would rather see your company’s ads than watch some of today’s programming!  Jake, from State Farm, is one of the best ads around, and the ones featuring Chris Paul, legendary basketball star, are always hysterically funny! 

“State Farm Insurance is the real deal, and they have been for nearly 100 years,” says Jeffery Wilson, Meridian Agent.  “State Farm has got you covered, from auto, life, renters and homeowner’s insurance to health insurance, disability insurance, medical supplement and pet insurance.” 

State Farm was founded in 1922, by a progressive farmer, George J. Mecherle.  He became dissatisfied with the car insurance rates charged to farmers, as those rates included the risks of city drivers as well.  His idea was the start of a new company and today, State Farm is the nation’s #1 insurer of automobiles. 

Jeffery says, “I like to consider my agency a ‘hometown’ agency.  We personally take care of each client.  We are “State Farm” and no one else.  When we call our home office about one of our client’s policies, we are talking about a familiar member of our insurance business.  We’re a Mutual Company, which means we are owned by our policyholders, who we answer to, not stockholders.  The hometown presence we have of local team members taking care of the citizens of our area, makes our business unique.  That’s why we are the #1 auto insurer.”

“I’m a member of the Chamber because I want to give back to our community.  So many people have helped me and I’m grateful.  We need more people to know what a wonderful town and community we have.  We need industry, so citizens can have good jobs and an educational system that is second to none.  We need to strongly support our youth and their activities and help them achieve and be successful. That means working together.”

Jeffery believes the most rewarding thing about his work is being able to help someone when they’ve had a loss.  As the commercial says, “State Farm believes you’ve worked hard to get to where you are.  But the world can throw the unexpected at you.  Let State Farm insurance help protect you, your loved ones, and the life you’ve built.”
