(
$ "
(
The Littman-Thomas Agency has a history dating back to the 1860’s in Greenville and Darke County. In the mid-1800’s, the Ohio Farmers Insurance Company, now known as Westfield Companies, appointed one insurance agency in each of the 88 counties. Littman-Thomas Agency was one of the original 88 and has been with the company since that time. In November 2005, the Littman-Thomas Agency purchased the Sargent & Associates Agency in Bradford and are currently operating out of offices in Bradford and Greenville to serve the clients of Darke County and the surrounding area. In May of 2021, the Littman-Thomas Agency purchased The Francis Agency in Troy, and are serving clients in Miami County and the surrounding area. The Littman-Thomas Agency’s Greenville office is staffed by David Keiser, Ben Studebaker, Gavin Glasscoe, Linda Ashworth, Mona Kindell, Chris Norris, and Jacob Butsch. Staffing the Bradford office are Christine Canan, Pam Young, Paige Subler, Teresa Jackson, Glen Hollopeter, Charlene Haines, and Steve Root. The Troy office staff includes William Francis and Kathy McKenzie. The Littman-Thomas Agency offers friendly, courteous, and knowledgeable service. They hope you will give them the opportunity to assist with all your insurance needs. Their Bradford office, located at 110 E. Main St., can be reached at 937-448-2590. Call 937-548-2131 to contact their Greenville office, located at 515 E. Main St. The Troy location is 15 S. Cherry St. and can be reached at 937-339-1525.

In 1886, a group of prominent Covington citizens organized The Covington Building & Loan Association, under the laws of the State of Ohio. The first office of the Association was located in the rear of the Shellabarger Hardware Store at 7 N. High St. Office equipment consisted of a desk, two chairs, a small safe, an account book, a receipt book, and pens and pencils. Today – after nearly 136 years in operation – the Association has grown to over 90 million dollars in assets. The Covington Savings & Loan Association continues to grow and offers its customers a wide array of services, including Online Banking and Bill Payment. For more details, please visit: www.covingtonsavingsandloan.com. Serving Savers and Homeowners since 1886, the Association has had a long and colorful history. One thing has remained constant, however... its dedication to local communities. Customers enjoy peace of mind, knowing that their loans and assets are diligently handled by knowledgeable, caring staff members who greet you with a smile each time you visit one of their offices.
