Our story is about how a man of little means and lots of families made something out of nothing by hard work, determination, and strength of will. The story includes a wife, a husband, seven children, rubber stamps, a basement and eventually 3 store locations.
The story starts in the early 60s when Jesse McGee was working for the post office sorting mail. In order to survive, however, he always held part-time jobs at night and on the weekends. Finally, a friend who helped him find part-time work introduced him to a man who was selling a rubber stamp business.
Jesse made what he says was the biggest decision of his life. He quit the post office cold turkey and went into business for himself, full time, making rubber stamps in the basement of his home. It took him more than a decade to build the business to the point that he was earning what he did sorting mail at the post office. But he had a burning desire to make the business successful. His motto was, I'm going to make this work or die to try.
One thing leads to another and Jesse began purchasing equipment to engrave signage and trophies. That, in turn, led to requests for plaques and other engravable.
Now, the business includes a third location on State Road in American Fork to better serve our clients. The business doesn't stop in Utah and Salt Lake Counties, the website has allowed us to reach across the nation and even internationally. Our missionary plaques have seen inward buildings around the globe. And we have been honored to create awards for the Bermuda Golf Classic hosting NFL football players.
We specialize in Corporate awards, custom stamps, custom framing, apparel, promotional items, business cards, and much much more!
