Current® began in 1950 at the foot of Pikes Peak in the Colorado Springs home of Orin and Miriam Loo. Orin, an artist and printer, owned a small publishing business, and Miriam thought the postcards he produced would make a good fundraising product. She began a mail-order campaign to 500 ministers asking them if their church groups would sell the postcards. Her idea was a great success, and soon the family began producing a full catalog of beautifully designed greeting cards, recipe cards, and other paper products.
