Harcourt Outlines, Inc has been serving schools since 1956 when Conrad C. and Norma S. Harcourt started the pencil imprinting business in an old chicken house. Today, the company manufactures and sells over 70, 000, 000 wood case pencils. The pencils are silk screened with school names, mascots, and printed in the school's choice of color. We offer popular novelty pencil designs ranging from heat transfer labels to fancy foils. Our Pencil Pages feature some of our newest designs. Today, the company is owned by Joe Harcourt, Vice President of Sales, and Jean Ann Harcourt, President. Joe and Jean Ann are the son and daughter of Conrad and Norma. Following their graduations from Ball State University with degrees in Business Administration, each joined the family school supply business. Joe joined the company during May, 1973, followed by Jean Ann in May of 1975. Harcourt Outlines, Inc sells directly to over 14, 000 elementary, middle, and high schools across the United States.
