Underlying boards exposed occasionally along the edges. Pages tanned. Reprinted from The Inland Printer. Fiction depicting the printing industry. Roy Trewin Porte (1876-1936) was heavily interested in the field of printing and publishing. "His [Porte's] mastery of printing and his knowledge of cost finding led to his appointment as secretary and cost expert of the Commercial Printers' organization in Cincinnati, Ohio. In this role, he traveled widely as a lecturer on the topic of printing costs. In July 1916, Porte found himself in Salt Lake City, Utah to assume the position of secretary of the Ben Franklin Club. One year later, he published the first edition of the Price List, which later became well-known as the Franklin Printing Catalog. The success of the Price List was immediate, and in 1924 the Porte Publishing Company was established to continue publishing the catalog." - J. Willard Marriott Library (University of Utah) Blog.…

Paperback. Condizione: New. Print on Demand. This book examines the history of a country newspaper and its printer in the early 20th century, a time when many small publications struggled to maintain financial viability in the face of larger, more established operations. Through the narrative of the printer, who joins forces with the paper's owner to save the business, the author provides an in-depth look at the challenges and triumphs of running a small-town newspaper. The author traces the printer's efforts to modernize the paper's operations, including implementing a bookkeeping system, streamlining advertising sales, and making changes to the physical plant. Along the way, the author explores the broader themes of community and the importance of local journalism, particularly in rural areas. This is a valuable resource for anyone interested in the history of journalism and small businesses, as well as readers interested in the social and economic challenges faced by rural communities in the early 20th century.
