| Holcomb's Early Growth In 1872, in Mallet Creek, Ohio, James R. Holcomb founded his namesake company as a mail-order house specializing in novelties, school supplies, rubber stamps, and musical instruments. Holcomb's has since evolved into an employee-owned, leading-edge educational resource, offering a wide range of educational tools to enhance and expand the learning experience. These tools include instruction and art materials, games, gift items, office supplies & furniture, early childhood products, teaching aides, and computer products and services. From Mr. Holcomb's first patent on a telephone in the late 1800's, through the development and expansion of our educational supplies catalogs, our education retail store openings and the establishment and growth of a division dedicated to educational technology, Holcomb's has continued to be the innovative leader in providing educational resources. "It's always been the goal at Holcomb's to provide the highest quality products and service to our customers.", states President Paul Culler. "We'll continue working very hard to help teachers, parents, and grandparents...find fun and creative ways for kids to learn." Holcomb's Education Resources To best serve the needs of our education customers, Holcomb's operates three divisions, all focused exclusively on education. The School Supplies Division offers schools and teachers a full range of products through a dedicated sales force and an extensive catalog of competitively priced products, including anything and everything from soy bean-based crayons to an exclusive school furniture line. The Retail Stores Division operates the fastest growing educational resource store for teachers and parents, with 32 convenient KnowPlace® locations in Ohio, Michigan, New York, western Pennsylvania and Kentucky. Our retail stores provide a shopping experience that nurtures the art of teaching and celebrates the gift of learning. Our knowledgeable store sales associates help teachers, parents, and students choose from a wide assortment of unique and wonderful learning products. The Technology Solutions Division has been helping schools for over 20 years by providing the technology products that teachers need, and answering the questions that schools have regarding product applications, platform compatibility, memory upgrades, digital imaging, software licensing and more. We are also an authorized reseller of more than 10,000 technology products. Holcomb's three divisions work closely together to provide a comprehensive range of educational products and services. We are committed to delivering outstanding service and high quality education resources that will continue to provide "Wonderful Ways for Kids to Learn". |
