Owen Holmes, Jr., the founder of Holmes
Stamp Company, started making stamps in his garage. What started out as a
hobby became a business in 1954. Mr. Holmes retired in 1985, after
founding and establishing a very successful business, which, by the time
of his retirement, had come to manufacture not only stamps, but also
notary seals and engraved signs. After his retirement, Mr. Holmes' son,
known as Skeets, who had worked for his father since 1975, ran Holmes
Stamp Company. Bob Croft, a partial owner since 1985 who had started at
Holmes Stamp Company as a delivery driver at age 19, took over upon
Skeets' retirement in 1998.
Holmes Stamp Company continues its
commitment to an unbeatable work ethic and focus on exceptional customer
service that Mr. Holmes implemented when he started the business.
Today, these values live on as Bob Croft and his son Bryan operate
Holmes Stamp Company with the help of competent and knowledgeable
employees, some of whom have been working for Holmes Stamp Company for
over twenty years. The magic continues today!
