ERIE founder H.O. Hirt was a man of business–and a man of words.
He starting publishing The Bulletin, a weekly newsletter to Erie Insurance Agents, in 1931. H.O. wrote for the publication–which is still going strong today–for nearly 50 years. In it, he offered advice and encouragement to Agents and information about how the company was faring.
