Making HISTORY today with Wild West Wednesdays and printing. Hello Beloved! Old Cowtown Museum in Wichita, Kansas has a well equipped Printing Shoppe.
Now what civilized community wouldn't have a Print Shoppe to keep others informed about what's going on in the community as well as what's going on elsewhere in the world?
The Midwest may have been primitive in alot of areas, but not with the media.
It was fun to visit this particular place. When I was 17 years old and worked part time at JC Penney, one of my responsiblities was to run a manual printing press. The smell of ink and working alone in a basement location put a mark in my memory bank. I can recall the satisfaction I had when I made a sign that turned out well. I learned how to read upside down and backwards!!!
Hope you enjoy the pics of this week's featured place of business.
May you have a wonderful day!
God Bless,

Dd,
I like the old print shop too. All of the cast letters, and the machinery. With the advent of computers, graphics software and a laser printer, the printer and his press are a thing of the past. But it still requires a true artist to create a layout that's pleasing to the eye!
