Changes over the Years In 1974 we purchased Duro-Ad Pen Co. from Magic Marker and started producing writing instruments. We were making over 30,000 pens a day. The yarn mill, rummage store, rehab services, mop and caning operations were closed. In 1978 we moved to your present location on Austin Street.

The Lighthouse exists to serve people who are blind or visually impaired with job training and competitive employment. We provide real jobs, with real expectations. Everyone is paid at least minimum wage, many make much more. All employees receive the same benefits. Tracie Bell and Fred
