In 1913 People's Bank, located on the square in Carrollton, Georgia started a real estate agency and insurance agency to help support their local bank and community. Years later, the Glass-Steagall Act was passed into law and banks were no longer allowed to sell insurance. In 1956, Horace's nephew, Woodfin Cole, bought the company and expanded the agency. He was a successful entrepreneur and n
oble leader in the community. In the 1980's, two of Woodfin's children, Eddie Cole and Woody Cole, along with Jim Russell and Larry Deese purchased the agency. For many decades, their partnership successfully grew distribution and they also expanded into various products and Insurance carriers. Today, CR&I, is run by a fourth generation Cole and three other partners.
