Originally printed at the Ephrata Cloister Ice Cream Social in August on the English Common Press reproduction at the Cloister, this was reprinted with my APA number on my 6.5×10 Craftsmen Superior for submission to the Amalgamated Printers’ Association. 170 pcs – 9/25
This year I was accepted as a member of the Amalgamated Printers Association so the first thing I had to do was update my prop (proprietor’s) card to meet the membership requirements. I initially planned at least two colors and the APA logo, but a perfect storm of press and other issues made it necessary to simplify the project. I used the Craftsmen Imperial 5×8. Yes, I also satisfied having my first typo, it’s “men” not “man”. I can never keep that straight so with the Superior “men” and Imperial “man” one of them was sure to be right. Clue, they were not made by Sears, which made the Craftsman brand.
