Walter
Drake, a pioneer in direct mail, began
operations in 1947 in Colorado Springs with a single novel
idea. In his one-room office, he created a character named
“Tommy Turtle” and parents all over the country signed up for
their children to receive personalized, upbeat pen pal letters
and gifts from Tommy.
Today, the business Walter Drake started more than a half
century ago, is a leading direct marketer of kitchenware,
household products, organizers, personal health care items,
gardening and outdoor décor, personalized gifts, calendars and
stationery. The extensive line of products offered provide
unique problem solvers and specialized items for all ages to
enjoy.
