Henington Press

Before Xeroxing and digital images, businesses would take their orders for menus, posters and receipt booklets to a local printer to be set in type and pressed to paper. Henington Press in Park Slope, Brooklyn was just that kind of place. Its a family business that started in 1912 and is going to close this winter. Before the presses stop, WNYC's Kathleen Horan dropped by and talked with the press's owner, David Harris.

Produced by Kathleen Horan and Andrea Silenzi

That is too sad for words. All the best to you Mr. Henington. I truly hope you made enough money for a healthy and happy retirement.
