The Messenger story · Since 1913
Since 1913.
In Auburn since the 1930s.
Frank Messenger started the company in Chicago with Sacred Art calendars. Funeral homes were his best customers, so in the 1930s Messenger began making funeral stationery and moved to Auburn, Indiana, where we still make it today. We were the first to match one artwork across every printed piece of a service.
