Tucson Realty
& Trust Co. was incorporated under the laws of the Territory
of Arizona on December 22, 1911 and adopted the bulls-eye as its logo.
That same year, George H. Amos came to work for the firm, sweeping
the office, cleaning the spittoons and sprucing up rental homes.
Soon
after, he became a rent collector and eventually the leading insurance
agent in the community, all before his 20th birthday.It is believed
that Amos sold the first automobile insurance policy in Arizona in
1915. In 1924 he was elected a vice president and director of Tucson
Realty & Trust Co., eventually to be named president of the firm.
When
George H. Amos died in 1976, after 65 years of dedicated service,
his son George H. Amos Jr., known as "Buddy", assumed the presidency
of Tucson Realty & Trust Co. Buddy, an insurance agent and community
philanthropist, was well known for his work with the Arizona's Children's
Home and St. Joseph's Hospital.

Buddy continued the tradition of providing leadership in cultural
and charitable organizations, until his fight with cancer ended in
November, 1990. Continuing the family tradition, George H. Amos III,
known as "Hank", took over the presidency of Tucson Realty & Trust
in 1988. Hank is still the CEO of Tucson Realty & Trust Co. today.
