State stamp seals are a great tradition in our country. These state seals represent images and ideas that are essential to the formation of each state. Each state seal contains symbolism intrinsic to that state. Explore all the U.S state seals here.

The Oregon State Seal consists of an outer ring with the text “State of Oregon”, “1859″. The inner circle contains an American eagle atop a shield. The shield contains mountains, an elk, a wagon, the Pacific Ocean, on which there are a British man-of-war departing and an American steamer arriving. The second quartering with a sheaf, a plow, and a pickax. The banner is inscribed “The Union”. Thirty-three stars surrounding the shield represent the number of states upon Oregon’s entry into the union in 1859.

Now-a-days, a Notary Public utilizes state seals when they notarize a document with a notary embosser. A Notary Public is a public official who notarizes legal documents and who can also administer and take oaths, and affirmations among other tasks. Each state has different notary rules of conduct, and anyone interested in becoming a Notary Public should learn the requirements for their state.

Stamp-Connection carries an entire line of quality Notary stamps, Notary embossers, and Notary accessories, including Notary Journals that are required to record all notary activities.

HISTORIC DOWNTOWN GRESHAM BUSINESS EXCEEDS $1 MILLION IN SALES

Gresham, OR – Stamp-Connection announces that they have passed $1 million in year-to-date sales for 2007. The company had sales of $757,000 in 2006, an increase of 33% with still one month left in the year. In August of 2007, the company had their first $100,000 month, followed with their second and third $100,000 month in October and November. The increase in sales is directly related to Stamp-Connection’s expanded offering of premium pre-inked rubber stamps, including the Xstamper line, which is the most recognized pre-inked stamp worldwide.

“Ever since we started selling Xstamper products back in February, we have seen a sharp increase in all of our rubber stamp categories,” said owner John Clark. “We expected to drive pre-inked rubber stamp business with the Xstamper, but the pull through of iStamp and Ideal stamps have been a terrific surprise.”

The company has established a Pre-Ink Stamp Department to keep up with the growth in business, which will begin order fulfillment of Xstamper orders in the Pacific Northwest from the Shachihata Corporation in January 2008. The company ships to customers in all fifty states and most western countries from its 3,600 square foot shop in Historic Downtown Gresham, and are extremely popular with bill marking enthusiasts on the website WheresGeorge.com. Likewise, the company expects to expand their custom laser-engraving department in 2008, to keep pace with the growing demand for nameplates, awards, and embossers.
