Didn't HE Harris change hands within the last 10 years? About 15 years ago, when I was in college I used to get their monthly catalogs. Back then, it was all philatelics and very little else. Nowadays from the looks of their website, they've expanded into coins and carparts(?).

HE Harris has moved around several times in recent years. Most currently they are only a small part of what they once were and a division of Whitman Publishing (the coin and coin red book catalog publishers). I get emails from them every once and awhile, but their focus is now on coins and the HE Harris division is really just albums, supplies and a few basic stamp packets suitable primarily for beginners.


Quote:
In 2003, the H.E. Harris company bought Whitman Coin Products from St. Martin's Press. As H.E. Harris also manufactured and sold coin albums, folders, and accessories, this acquisition was an ideal way to consolidate the leading numismatic supply companies in the industry. H.E. Harris changed its name to Whitman Publishing, and Whitman now features three distinct product lines: Whitman, H.E. Harris, and the U.S. Mint. Within each brand, there are coin supplies and accessories to meet any collector's needs. Whitman Publishing markets its books and accessories nationwide through major hobby distributors, dealers and national accounts.


Here's their current link:
