Advertisers Printing Celebrates 100 Years (piworld.com)

Last week, Advertisers Printing, a commercial shop in St. Louis, Missouri, celebrated an impressive milestone: 100 years in business.

Alex Fechner, the fourth generation of the family to be stepping into the business, noted that since 1923, the company has seen “one Great Depression, two world wars, a booming economy, two recessions and last but not least…. COVID. In other words, lots of ups downs and everything in between.”

Bill Fechner, the third generation and Alex’s father, noted at the event as the next generation begins to truly make its mark that, “There’s a saying that even a blind squirrel finds a nut eventually. After 44 and one-half years on the Advertisers’ team, my title has officially changed from CEO to blind squirrel.”

The company exports its products to Austria, Belgium, Germany, Romania, and Russia.
