Everything for the Office Since 1935
History
MTE Office Center
MTE Office Center is a family owned and operated business
established in 1935 by A. J. (Jack) and Marie Tarpley. Known
then as Maryville Typewriter Exchange, the Tarpley's serviced
typewriters in their second floor repair shop on East Third Street.
After several moves, the Tarpley's established MTE as its
current location on 1940's. Later that decade, their daughter
Betty and her husband Jay Baker joined the operation, eventually
purchasing the company in the early 1930's. Joining the team
during this period were Bryan Alexander and Larry Abbott.
Their expertise through the years has been invaluable asset to
the clients of this organization.
Through the years, MTE broadened their product offering to include office supplies, furniture, printing, and copiers. In 1980, Roger Baker, grandson of the founders, joined the operation and became president of the corporation in 1984.
In the 1990's MTE added computers, printers, and networking to its product mix. In this new century, more products are available than ever. MTE's full line catalog shows over 1100 pages of products and furniture. Check out the 220 page Furniture Planning Guide. Please ask to see the special
