Company Timeline – connect with more than 120 million households through catalogs and with many more through online sites. Silver Star Brands is one of the largest direct marketers of consumer gifts and household products in America and ships nearly four million orders annually. The Miles Kimball Company is a leader in the catalog business — offering cards, wonderful gifts, helpful household items and unique food products. It started roughly 80 years ago, when an ambitious young man named Miles went into business with a simple idea: to market a Christmas card personalized with the sender’s name. While commonplace now, this was true innovation in 1935. With a Minneapolis phone book in hand and some borrowed cash in his pocket, Miles printed and mailed a card personalized to 500 Johnson households. The response was so fantastic, it provided Miles Kimball with seed money to produce his first catalog. Decades later, Christmas cards — the idea that started it all — are still produced and personalized in Oshkosh. Today, the business thrives with several unique catalogs: Miles Kimball, Miles Kimball Christmas Cards and Mrs. Kimball’s Candy Shoppe. The Miles Kimball product line specializes in exclusively designed ornaments, labels, children’s accessories, outdoor décor and gifts. We strive to delight our customers with unique, hard-to-find gadgets and gifts with an emphasis on seasonality, personalization and exclusivity – adding distinction to ordinary items. As we continue to grow, we remain true to our founder’s vision: to provide you with the unique, the unusual and the unexpected. The success of “Tommy Turtle” made it possible for Walter Drake to add products to his line such as stationery and address labels. In the 1950s and 60s America, letter-writing was popular and his products struck a note with increasingly mobile consumers. Decades later, Walter Drake remains a force among direct marketing companies. A direct marketer of kitchenware, household products, organizers, personal health care items, gardening and outdoor décor, personalized gifts, calendars and stationery, Walter Drake’s extensive product line includes unique problem solvers and specialized items for all ages to enjoy. Exclusive Christmas cards, stationery, calendars, address labels and family organizers are still designed specifically for the Walter Drake catalogs. Today, hand-painting, printing, embroidery, engraving and foil stamping techniques allow us to personalize a wide range of Walter Drake kitchen, household, personal care, garden and other products. Along with the website, the business now consists of several catalogs: Walter Drake and Walter Drake Christmas Cards. When life takes you outside your comfort zone, Easy Comforts is here to help.

If you are a woman who has celebrated a milestone birthday – 40, 50 or beyond – you know the changes these milestones bring with them. In 1996, three San Diego businesswomen saw the opportunity to make high-quality, well-researched and nutritional beauty, skin care, exercise, lifestyle and personal care products available to women in their 40s and 50s, through the As We Change® catalog. The company made history as the first direct marketing company focused exclusively on the needs and preferences of women ages 40+. Today, as both a catalog and online retailer, As We Change serves millions of women customers experiencing life changes related to aging, including the changes the accompany perimenopause and menopause.
