Butwin Insurance Group

Growing up, I learned to take pictures on a Kodak camera. I loved watching pictures magically come to life in my hand from my father’s Polaroid. I carried grocery bags into the house from Waldbaum’s and A&P. My mother drove carpool in a Pontiac and my father drove to the train station in an Oldsmobile. They flew on TWA and Eastern Airlines. When I needed a suit for my Bar Mitzvah they took me to Barney’s. My mother shopped in Loehmann’s, A&S and Lord & Taylor. My father bought his tools at Sears. My grandparents were regulars at Woolworth’s and Korvette’s. My wife spent countless hours at Toys R Us. Mint chip ice cream in a sugar cone from Howard Johnson’s will always be a great childhood memory, especially after a Knicks or Rangers game in Penn Station.

When I stop to think about all these great companies who no longer exist, I am not only nostalgic but also very proud. Butwin Insurance Group is turning 100 Years Old! Less than 1/2 of 1 percent of all companies ever established in America have made it to 100.

100 YEARS !

I’ll spare you all of the clichés and just say: THANK YOU FOR 100 YEARS OF YOUR TRUST AND CONFIDENCE!
