The Original Since 1946
In 1946, Vrest and Mildred Orton printed and mailed the first catalog to 1,000 people on their Christmas card list. Vrest, a frugal Yankee at heart, insisted that what they sold must be useful, work, and make sense. Our family still holds true to this principle as Purveyors of the Practical and Hard-to-Find.
