The Rushton Agency is celebrating 40 years of servicing the Upstate with their insurance needs by holding a ribbon cutting ceremony with The Greater Easley Chamber of Commerce. Gil Rushton took over the agency first and was then joined by his son Doug Rushton and recently his daughter Jan has joined the agency to continue the family business. The Rushtons take pride in providing excellent customer service to their clients and making sure that what is important to them and their families is covered properly.

The Rushtons have many clients that have been with them for the 40 years, as well as their children and even grandchildren. They would like to thank them for their loyalty and would love to get to know any new families that have moved into the area by giving them a free quote on their home, auto, boats and motorcycles.

Of course all of these material possessions need to be protected; however, the one thing that is often overlooked is Life insurance. The Rushtons urge you to look into securing a Life policy.

The Rushton Agency also offers competitive commercial insurance as well. They are located near Main Street at 106 Bradley Ave. across from the Bank of America and the 1st Baptist Church. Their phone # is 864-859-9953. Or e-mail for a quote at rushtoj1@nationwide.com.
