A. B. Hirschfeld Press
The A. B. Hirschfeld Press (1907 - 2005) was founded by A. B. (Abraham Bernard) Hirschfeld (1888 - 1957) in Denver, Colorado, in 1907. A. B. Hirschfeld was born in Cincinnati, Ohio, and moved to Denver in 1904. He founded the Press in the basement of a fruit stand at 17th and Larimer Streets with a $39 hand-operated press. The company continued expanding, and Hirschfeld's son Edward Hirschfeld (1907 - 1984) joined the family firm at age 15. By 1949, the A. B. Hirschfeld Press was the largest printer between Chicago and the West Coast. Edward's son A. Barry Hirschfeld joined the company in 1966 after graduating from California State Polytechnic University. A.B. Hirschfeld Press merged with the National Printing and Packaging Company, digital printer C and M Press LLC, and the printing software firm OSI6 LLC in 2005. The firm closed on January 20, 2009.
