A Brief History of Golden State Mutual

Where it all began...

The decade of the 20's was charged with spectacular changes. Radio was emerging as a mass entertainment medium and motion pictures started to talk. Women  appeared in knee-length dresses, bobbed their hair and even smoked in public.

And while, in July of 1925, John Scopes was being convicted in Tennessee of teaching evolution in high school, a form of "evolution" was taking place in a cubicle-sized office on Central Avenue in Los Angeles. The sign beneath its one narrow window identified the second-story room as headquarters of "Golden State Guarantee Fund Insurance Company".

There the team of Golden State Mutual Organizers - armed with $17,800 in capital assets and assisted by a handful of dedicated agents - set about carrying out Phase two of their program to build an insurance company. By the end of 1925, Golden State had paid its first death claim, established its first branch office and moved its home office to a more spacious facility.
