UPDATE: The Johnson Smith Company closed in December 2019.
UPDATE: The Johnson Smith Company brands which included The Things You Never Knew Existed Catalog, The Lighter Side Catalog, and Betty’s Attic Catalog were acquired by Winston Brands in 2020 who were “excited to keep the Johnson Smith Company brands moving forward and blending them into” their current family of Collections Etc.
