Bernadette Business Forms Celebrates 50th Anniversary

On May 5, Bernadette Business Forms, Hazelwood, Mo., will celebrate its 50th anniversary.

Founded in 1955 by James Truetken--president and CEO, and the only surviving founder--along with Joe Husgen, Jack Husgen, Joe Foshage, John Horvath, Emil Hegwood and Al Schuster, the company has grown from a small, 6,500-sq-ft. building that produced simple business forms into a large custom manufacturer of printed products for the direct marketing industry. The company can print up to 10 colors on one of its 12 offset presses, and can produce and affix labels in-house.
