Lane Guide | History
The
Lane Guide, founded as "Lane Information Consolidated,"
the brain child of
Mr. John M. Lane. Working as a credit manager for a major finance
company, Mr. Lane saw the need for one central and consolidated
information source for lenders, creditors and banks.
In July of 1957, Mr. Lane put the idea
into reality with the first edition of the Lane Creditors Guide.
Covering the greater Los Angeles area, the Guide grew to cover all
of Southern California by the early 1960’s and Nationwide by the
1990’s.
Today, The Lane Guide serves thousands
of industry professionals nationwide. Our Nationwide Desktop (CD-ROM) and
Online Internet versions, allow for instant
access to over 100,000 financial institution offices and
step-by-step lender succession histories for over 50,000 more which
have closed or consolidated over the years. We maintain a
staff of editorial and research professionals who constantly
maintain and enhance our information. Our data files continue to
grow on an ongoing basis.
Our state-of-the-art editorial system
allows us to track changes throughout the year, keeping Lane Guide
information current. So many professionals have come to rely on the
accurate and consolidated information found only in the Lane Guide.
