Desk in our lobby was made by Ken’s Grandfather, Richard G. Burns
We embrace the new and cherish the old. The new at Burns is our new business offering promotional products. Today we put up a poster in our lobby to let customers know of this new service. It hangs above a desk made by hand by Ken’s Grandfather. The pegs to hold it together are hand carded by Richard G Burns, Blount County Tennessee’s oldest survivor of the Spanish American war. He lived to be 94 and had many stories to tell of his work as the manager of sawmills. Ken, my late husband, lived with him for a good portion of his life. He told me once that he wished he had been more attentive to the stories that he told. He was 6’4″ and his wife was not 5 feet. They were quite a pair.
I am President/Owner of Burns Mailing & Printing, Inc. My late husband, Ken Burns founded our business in 1981. I joined him in 1990. We started out as a printing only company and added mailing and graphic design in 1991. It enabled us to offer graphic design, printing and mailing at one location. We are pleased to announce that in 2019 we have added promotional products as well. We are now truly a one stop convenience for all of these services.
We are 100% women owned and are certified by the State of TN as a Women Business Enterprise (WBE).
My business is my passion and I love to travel and spend time with my family.
