History
Just as the history of
any delinquent account is important to its collection,
Frost-Arnett believes its own history is an important
factor to potential clients.
Frost-Arnett can trace
its beginnings back to 1893 when Howard E. Frost and
two other individuals started working together to collect
delinquent accounts. In 1905, this working arrangement
incorporated under the name of Snow-Church and Company,
Incorporated. According to all available information,
this is believed to be one of the earliest, if not the
earliest, establishment of a collection agency. Frost-Arnett
is a direct descendant of this company.
In 1924, the Company name
changed to Frost-Lewis Company with the departure of
Church and the addition of B. M. Lewis. By 1928, Frost-Lewis
was already considered one of the leading collection
outlets for both commercial and wholesale credit grantors
in the country because of outstanding service.
Some years later, Levin
H. Arnett joined the company and in conjunction with
Frost, established a New York City branch of the company
that became the Eastern Division Headquarters. In 1933,
a Chicago office was opened to serve as the Midwestern
Headquarters.
In 1935, Frost-Lewis Company
officially became Frost-Arnett Company and continued
to serve large corporations throughout the country.
Four years later, Charles C. Martin, Sr. bought controlling
interest in Frost-Arnett and immediately started accelerating
the company's growth.
In subsequent years, the
Company has continued to grow and expand to meet the
needs of both its established and potential clients.
The company branched out to represent national credit
grantors and took a leading position in all avenues
of credit and collections that have emerged through
time.
In 1969, Charles C. Martin,
Jr. assumed the reigns of the Company and has energetically
and consistently guided the Company through continued
growth, building on the original philosophy of service
and clientele confidence. There is an on-going commitment
to provide Frost-Arnett clients the very best service
available to effectively and quickly initiate rapid
recovery of delinquent accounts..
