Insurance Journal

Insurance Journal, considered the most read national property and casualty publication for independent insurance agents and brokers, kicked off its legacy some time in 1923. While the exact date of the magazine's 1st issue remains a mystery, what the Insurance Journal has become is no secret. In 1936, during the Great Depression, Mark A. Wells Sr. Then just 27 years old, purchased the magazine and immediately embarked on a top-to-bottom redesign. Following Mark A. Wells Sr.s death in 1970, Mark Wells Jr. Took over the magazine and remains its publisher today.
