A Failed Merger Becomes A Blessing for Stuyvesant

Well, not completely fresh. SPI returned with nearly all of its clients intact—an amazing act of customer loyalty by any printer's standards. In fact, Roesch credits the "customers who stuck with us through thick and thin" for SPI's rebirth.

Many of Stuyvesant's clients have been with Roesch since the beginning, when he purchased the tiny storefront shop that occupied all of 450 square feet and contained a few handfed presses, including a (circa 1920s) Kelly press. The new owner started out by printing mostly business cards and labels for a small, but steady, foundation of local accounts.
