H. F. Ahmanson & Co.
H.F. Ahmanson & Co. was a California holding company named after millionaire Howard F. Ahmanson, Sr. It is best known as the parent of Home Savings of America, formerly one of the largest savings and loan associations in the United States.
==Early History==
The H. F. Ahmanson & Company held the title for being the largest savings and loan institution in the United States, Home Savings of America. Ahmanson has accrued more than $48 billion in assets, almost all of which is derived from Home Savings with its emphasis on financing residential real estate loans. The company weathered the difficulties that many savings and loan institutions fell victim to during the 1980s, but recovered to continue its expansion into heavily populated urban areas throughout the United States.
Howard Fieldstead Ahmanson, the company's founder, was born in Omaha on July 1, 1906.〔Harold Tucker, “It’s Not All Finance With L.A. Financier,” Los Angeles Times, June 11, 1961, J1.〕 Considered by his father to be a genius by the age of five, H.F. Ahmanson founded the company that bears his name in 1927, even before graduating from the University of Southern California that year at the age of 20.〔“Businessmen in the News,” Fortune, February 1956, 53.〕 Ahmanson's company specialized in casualty insurance and quickly became the largest underwriter in California. During the Depression, the company prospered by dealing with foreclosures.〔“Howard F. Ahmanson, 61, Dies: One of Nation’s Wealthiest Men,” New York Times, June 18, 1968, 47.〕 Ahmanson once remarked that he felt like an undertaker: "the worse it got, the better it was for me." In 1943 Ahmanson bought control of Omaha-based National American Insurance Company, the company his father had owned but which the family had been ousted from after his father's death in 1925.
