Setting type is backbreaking work. Every letter placed by hand, backwards, in the dark.
Colonial printers and their apprentices worked 16-hour days. They set type letter by letter—thousands of tiny metal pieces arranged perfectly so a broadside could be printed. A single mistake meant starting over. The work destroyed eyes and bent backs.
But they persisted. Because every pamphlet that left their shop carried ideas that could change the world. Thomas Paine's "Common Sense" was set by hand, one letter at a time, by exhausted workers who believed in what they were printing.
At {BUSINESS_NAME}, we know some jobs just take hard work. The customers of {CITY} can count on us to put in the hours.
