ESOP Helps Higginbotham ‘Share The Vision’ Of Success

Downtown Ft. Worth, Texas, is undergoing a renaissance. A city built upon the sweat and hard work of the people who drove cattle into the town along the Chisholm Trail, it continues to evolve into a world-class center of commerce and culture.

In a sense, this evolution is symbolic of the emergence of National Underwriters first “Commercial Insurance Agency of the Year”–Higginbotham & Associates in Ft. Worth–as a growing local and national power.

Begun as a one-man personal lines agency around World War II, today the office sits on a corner near the edge of the freeway project.
