The History of the Lyle R. Jager Agency

The Lyle R. Jager Agency, Inc. was started in 1952 when Lyle Jager graduated Magna         Cum Laude from St. Ambrose University and purchased a small agency in Kewanee, Illinois. Beginning with an annual sales volume of $29,000, Lyle made a commitment to success, and with planning and foresight, he continued to build the Agency.

In 1972, the annual sales volume was a respectable $800,000 and Lyle was joined by James H. Grier, a graduate of Illinois Wesleyan University. Richard Carlock, CPCU, a graduate of Wichita State University, joined the Agency in 1974. Both James H. Grier and Richard Carlock became owners with Lyle and continued the growth of the Agency. Lyle died in 1984 and Richard passed away in 1992. James H. Grier is the sole owner of the Agency at the present time.

Today the Agency continues Lyle's vision with over 40 employees and $23,000,000 of annual sales volume. We are an independent Agency representing multiple companies, a trusted name in the Insurance Industry since 1952. We are able to shop the Insurance Market for our customers and provide them the best insurance value for their premium dollars. When a customer calls us with claims, questions or changes in coverage, a real person answers the phone and will direct them to someone who can help them.

The Lyle R. Jager Agency is committed to excellence and has invested in the people, education, professionalism and equipment needed to be prepared for your insurance needs.
