Now in its eighth decade, The Antioch Company continues to grow and prosper.
Following the credo of their founder, they continue the tradition of "giving
back" to the community and employees.
Ernest Morgan's dreams of 70 years ago are now a reality: a
community of work, dedicated to making quality products, marketed honestly and
fairly to meet the consumer's needs; an enthusiastic workforce, where diverse
ideas are respected and profits are shared; and a good corporate citizen,
working within the community for the betterment of everyone.
A look at Antioch's annual report would reveal that the
product line includes bookplates, bookmarks, journals, diaries, photo albums
and scrapbooks. Yet, according to founder Ernest Morgan, Antioch's most
valuable product is human lives - the lives of its employees, Consultants,
representatives, customers, and the people living in the communities in which
Antioch operates.
It has been a remarkable journey from campus print shop to The
Antioch Company of today. Entering the twenty-first century, Antioch is
confident it will continue to grow and prosper while holding true to the values
that have served it so well since its beginning.

"We deliberately set about to make the company a working community, not just
for the money, but for the social experience, a place where people like to be
and can take part. That was the basic part of our philosophy ... to work just
to make a living is slavery. Unless you work because you enjoy it, enjoy the
fellowship and activity, you have sold yourself to slavery. I'm pleased that
Lee has carried forward so much of that original philosophy. It's working, and
I'm delighted."
-Ernest Morgan
