Owen's
Originals Inc.
Owen's Originals
was founded in 1978 by Brad Owen. Brad was an art teacher in
the public schools for many years and began the company by hand
painting backdrops for photographers. At that time nearly all
backdrops sold in the USA were still being produced here in the
United States. Brad was always proud of the product he put out,
treated his customers fairly and tried to offer a quality product
at a fair price. Over the years, things have changed-not only
in the backdrop market but in nearly every market in this country.
Cheap imported products from Taiwan, India, Korea and now China
have driven prices down on many goods and put a lot of American
companies out of business. Here at Owen's Originals, we are not
afraid to tell it the way it is. Even though many of our competitors
would lead you to believe that the products they sell are made
in this country, the truth is that most are not.
Although,
we did not want to import foreign products, several years ago
it became apparent that if we were going to stay in business,
it would be a necessity to do so. The main reason for this was
cost. Our competition began lowering their prices as more and
more inexpensive products became available. Soon, the selling
price for musiln backdrops fell below what it cost us to buy
the raw material and produce them here. Also, as American textile
mills were forced to close, it became impossible to buy American
made muslin. So, now, although you can still buy an American
painted muslin from us, it will be painted on Indian material.
As we are
now forced to sell imported goods, it has become our mission
to find and sell the best quality merchandise and to offer the
best customer service.We stand behind these items with American
pride in our reputation as an honest company to deal with. That
reputation has been earned over the past three decades.
