In 1924, Calvin Coolidge was president, and the Worcester Panthers were playing baseball under Jesse Burkett. It was also the year that Harold Fielding opened the Harold Fielding Insurance Agency on Pearl Street. Now, 100 years later, the insurance agency remains. Many of our clients were home grown companies like Laipson’s Diary, and Widoff’s Bakery. Now known as Insurance Marketing Agencies Inc., the firm is now a 4th generation family-run and still in downtown Worcester. Harold always felt Worcester was his home and continued to do business in the city his entire life.
The insurance business changed greatly throughout the '50s & '60s. After restrictions on multi-line underwriting are lifted, one of the oldest & largest insurance companies in the US applies to license a new product combining a range of different risk coverages into a single package, and homeowners insurance is born.
Harold Fielding Insurance Agency is 26 years old.
