2025 #YellowPages for Burlington is a shadow of its former self compared to the 2006 ed. Once a vital resource for businesses & the community, it transitioned from a key source of info to a riser for computers in early 2000s. #printingmuseum #printinghistory #printeddirectories

A heartfelt thank you to the Weathervane Press for the 2025 #ChristmasKeepsake. It rekindled the joy of opening a new book on #Christmas morning. The book features lovely, poignant stories & Christmas in Atlantic Canada. Wishing you all the best for 2026. #printingmuseum

Sharing a couple of photos of the recently donated bronze bust of Ottmar #Mergenthaler, the inventor of the #Linotype. It became a staple in composing rooms at #newspapers, book & magazine printers worldwide. Special thanks to Joseph Banich for this amazing gift. #printingmuseum

A touch of gold. A recent restoration work brought this late 1920s Simplex Hot Foil Stamper back to life. The Simplex Type K is a manual model, with manual foil advancement & a hand lever. #printingmuseum #printinghistory #museumrestoration #hotfoilstamping #goldstamping

GM Thornton, long established printers in Toronto, produced this issue in 1968. Today, the original "cuts" used in producing the book are proudly showcased at the Howard Iron Works Printing Museum, highlighting the rich history and legacy of this invaluable financial resource.

Published for over 100 years, the MURRAY’S INTEREST TABLES was originally created by Benjamin W. Murray, an esteemed accountant serving the Supreme Court of Ont. Thank you, Bruce Thornton, for sharing part of GM Thornton's legacy with the museum. #printingmuseum #printinghistory
