 About Us
In 1933 Thomas J. Williams founded the Personalized Stationery
Company to supply high quality personalized stationery
products to be used as fund raising items by schools, churches
and fraternal organizations.
In 2013, we discontinued our full-scale commercial printing
business, including the fund raising offerings. We reduced the
business to a smaller home-based letterpress shop in our
garage.
Now operating as The Private Press at Williams Stationery, still
with the product trade name of Kadet Stationery, we are still
offering the same high quality personalized stationery for the
individual purchaser and letterpress printed items for personal
and business use.
