Donald Duncanson -- A Self-made Man

Although he had 10 years of industry experience, the decision to go it on his own was a risky one. Duncanson had never sold printing. He also now had four sons and was in the midst of adopting his fifth child, a daughter.

Initially, Duncanson partnered with a former colleague who had a small advertising agency. His then-partner wanted to be able to offer printing, in addition to his advertising services. The two split after just five months, however, due to differing management styles.
