2010 Hall of Fame: Ed Garvey - All the Right Moves

Path to Prosperity

Garvey's path began in Westchester, IL, where he went to parochial school and enjoyed playing sports. Printing had always been woven into the fabric of Garvey's existence, since his grandfather had started the family business back in 1919. But, even through Garvey's childhood, the company remained very small, without many more than 20 employees. His dad was "chief cook and bottle washer," tending to sales and operations, not to mention everything in between.
