Hi Dave,
DD> of Agriculture (ran their print shop) and they were more about the

RH> Guess they figured that local issues would bog them down too much.
DD> Not necessdarily, just that the state Department of Agriculture is
DD> tasked with responsibility for the entire state all 102 counties.
DD> Too many localised tasks would bog them down and
RH> ..........cost way too much to print.
DD> Actually the print shop only printed two items for public consumption.
DD> The weekly (every Friday) Market Report which was an 8 page
DD> newsletter. We got the last of the information by noon, set the type,
DD> we took our lunch break after the mail run and didn't come back until
DD> the
DD> next work day - which was Monday. And we also printed the Department's
DD> Annual Report. Other than that it was letterheads, envelopes and
DD> forms.
Sounds like what my dad used to call "job printing". The newspaper was
printed weekly, plus they did other small jobs for businesses or
individuals. They kept a couple of albums of "fancy" jobs (wedding
invitations and other things on that line) that people could order thru
them also.
