Our Company History and Timeline

Our story begins in 1919, when John Doolittle began manufacturing the Doolittle Doodle Pad along the north bank of the Chicago River in the city’s downtown area. After a customer suggested that his doodle pad would make a good calendar item, Mr. Doolittle added lines and dates to the pages, and the Doolittle Calendar Company was born.

At some point, the company — still located in the Chicago area — was renamed the House of Doolittle®. In 1978, Ron Stavoe purchased the company from the Doolittle family. Under new management, the company added appointment books, desk pads and wall calendars, introducing attractive new colors, textures and graphics. Within a few years, the new owner — a true pioneer — began to think about making the company’s products in a more environmentally responsible way. And the rest is history!
