Carlisle Engraved Products owner retires

Margaret Carlisle, owner of Carlisle Engraved Products for over 26 years, is retiring on December 31, 2007. Margaret and her husband John, retired Eastside High School football coach, look forward to travel, new grandchildren and time at the Isle of Palms.

Carlisle Engraved Products will now become part of Exclamark Awards & Engraving and move to that location in University Square Shopping Center on Poinsett Highway. Exclamark was formerly the Awards portion of Awards and Sports and is owned by Mark Ellison, a former Carlisle employee.

All of Carlisle Engraved Products' equipment, customer files and orders will be transferred to Exclamark so service can continue un-interrupted. Most importantly, Kelly Erwin, who has worked at Carlisle Engraving for the past 9 years, is also going to Exclamark.

Carlisle Engraved Products officially closes Wednesday, December 19, for the holidays and will open as Exclamark Awards & Engraving on January 2. Please see www.exclamark.com for complete information.
