First American Buys Into Illinois Marketers

The First American Corp., which operates the nation’s second-largest title insurance company, said Wednesday that a subsidiary has acquired a minority interest in an Illinois marketing and benefit services company.

The Santa Ana company did not disclose the amount of the investment that its First American Real Estate Information Services Inc. has taken in Consumer Benefit Services Inc. in Naperville.

First American said the venture will give its customers such retail club membership services as travel, shopping, medical, home, insurance, performance and incentive programs.
