1Title:  Jack Lampl, Jr. Papers     
 Creator:  Lampl, Jack Jr. 
 Dates:  1917-1986 
 Abstract:  Jack Lampl, Jr. (1921-1999) was a Cleveland, Ohio, area businessman and community leader. His father Jack Sr. was the founder of financial firm Sun Finance & Loan and its holding company Sunamerica. Sun Finance & Loan was formed in the Cleveland area in 1930. Most of its business was in automotive loans, though it also provided mortgages and student loans. In 1969, Jack Sr. formed Sunamerica as a holding company for Sun Finance & Loan in order to expand its financial service package to consumers. Sunamerica dealt in proprietary education, insurance, and computer-time rental. At the height of its success, Sunamerica had 105 offices in eleven states. It was acquired in 1974 by Chemical New York Corporation, which went on to become JPMorgan Chase. Jack Sr. was also the co-founder of the real estate and construction company The Klein Lampl Company, which incorporated in 1917. In 1927, it changed its name to The Klein Lampl Homesite Company, and was the developer of several prominent Cleveland-area subdivisions. Jack Jr. graduated from Harvard University in 1942, at which time he joined his father at Sun Finance & Loan. He married Carolyn Cosel from New Castle, Pennsylvania in 1949 and became president of Sun Finance & Loan in 1959. In addition to his position at Sun Finance & Loan, he was elected president of American Finance Conference in 1963, and went on to serve on the board of the Cleveland Trust Company. Jack Jr. was an active community leader, serving as a trustee of the Cleveland Museum of Art, University Hospitals of Cleveland, Cleveland Play House Foundation, and Western Reserve Historical Society. The collection consists of correspondence, financial statements, newsletters, reports, and stock certificates.
