Union Printing Company
The Union Printing Company (1898 - c. 1995) was a printing company founded in Portland, Oregon. It was incorporated in 1902, and by 1905, Charles S. Beard had become its president and held that position until 1952. In 1910, the company changed its name to the Union Printing. Binding and Stationary Company after three other printers, John E. Impy of the Pacific Bindery Works, W. B. Phillips of the Bellingham Printing Company, and Harry B. Selby (who owned a lineotype machine housed in the Bellingham Printing Company), joined Beard and his business partner Templin. Soon after the merger, the company began advertising as the 'largest printing and binding concern in the Northwest'. The name was changed back to Union Printing Company in 1926. We know the company was operating in the mid-199ss, but we have yet to find a definitive answer as to when or if it ceased operations.
