Richard Jordan: Insurance is his business - for 50 years

Posted by Fred Steiner on March 21, 2011 - 6:17pm
Richard Jordan - 50 years on Main Street

Need crop insurance? We know an experienced insurance agent. His phone number is easy to remember: 315-W. Okay, that was his business phone in 1961. It's changed since then. Now it's 419-358-6909.

Lots of other things have also changed in Bluffton since 1961. Bluffton's Main Street has had its share of business ownership changes and several digits have joined our telephone numbers. The retail district has had two facelifts, lost one stop light and several gas stations, gained a couple banks and was given 45817 as its postal zip code.
