In 1942, the Smith Insurance Agency was founded by the late Charles Smith in Hobart, Indiana. Over the years the agency has experienced steady growth and in 1986 formed a business relationship with the owners of Fleming, Bates & Barber Insurance of Crown Point. Each agency operated under separate corporations; but common ownership between the offices. Today, the Hobart operation is under the direction of Richard Smith who is the nephew of the late Charles Smith and the Crown Point office is under the direction of Mark Bates who is a nephew of a long-time retired partner Gordon Bates.
In 1946, Fleming, Bates & Barber Insurance, Inc., originally known as Fleming Farm Service of Crown Point, Indiana was founded by the late Bruce Fleming. Over the years, the agency has had several business partners and agency names. After 26 years of operating under two separate corporations, the current partners Mark Bates, Richard Smith and Jack Barber decided to consolidate the two entities of Smith Insurance Agency and Fleming, Bates & Barber and operate under a new agency name called Pinnacle Insurance Group. The consolidation of the corporations has the same owners and employees in each respective office. However, now allows simplification of agency operations, internal efficiencies and re-branding two long standing reputable agencies into one common agency name….Pinnacle Insurance Group.
