Dewberry Engraving

Dewberry Engraving, also known as the National Engraving Company was a printing and engraving company founded by J. Ralph Dewberry in 1901. It grew to become the nation's largest engraving company during the 1950s and 60s, employing over 300 workers in the production of engraved stationery for customers in all 50 states.

The Dewberry family sold the business to the Taylor Corporation of Minnesota in 1991. Some executives have since worked with Pelham's Sweet Pea Designs. The Dewberry plant at 248 Oxmoor Court continued to operate until the summer of 2008, when it was closed as part of a corporate "rightsizing".
