Allied Printing Trades Association (sold)
Allied Printing Trades Association (c. 1893 - present) is a grouping of trade unions for printers, bookbinders, engravers, and associated trades. It was formed through a combination of five existing unions, the largest of which was the International Typographical Union (which had started as the National Typographical Union in 1852). Though not fully formed until 1910 - 1912, the name and insignia of the Allied Printing Trades Association had been used by local chapters of the International Typographical Union since 1893. The association became known for its 'bug' insignia, which would be displayed on newspapers and other publications which its members printed. It still operates today, with representatives in over 500 printshops and similar businesses throughout the U.S.

It is a product of the early 20th-century Florida Land Boom, which successfully promoted newly accessible and irrigated lands to thousands of New Englanders and Midwesterners. The present project had the interesting twist of being a socialist colony. (more details)
