Herb started as a feeder working nights on a 41 cylinder letterpress at Stationers Corporation in Los Angeles and stayed there for two years. While working nights, he attended L.A. Trade Tech during the day learning the lithographic process. At that time the lithographic process was called, the gray printing by the die-hard letter pressman.
The next five years were spent at Scott & Scott Printers in Santa Monica. Herb started there as a single color pressman. When he left he was the two-color pressman. At that time in Los Angeles, if you had a two-color 38" press, you were a big printer. He spent the next five years at GR&S as a pressman. The next year Herb was at a printer called Fred Henson Co. where he had his first opportunity in management as Plant Superintendent. That printer is now called Color Graphics. Herb returned to George Rice & Sons as pressroom foreman for the next five years. After being Plant Superintendent at Cal Litho Arts for one year, he then went to Lithographix as Plant Superintendent.
Two years later Herb, along with a salesperson at Lithographix, had the opportunity to purchase Lithographix. He has been President of Lithographix ever since. |
