End of Era for This Printer —Cagle

Fortunately, a fellow resident of the assisted living center recommended that Browning donate the press to the Belleville Labor and Industry Museum. Browning gave his blessing and a group of volunteers disassembled the press as much as possible and hauled it up the steps.

Instead of passing the days in dank darkness, the Chandler & Price has a new home that includes a couple of smaller presses of 1870s vintage. A more manageable weight could have resulted in its demise.
