Hall of Fame--Dedication in Many Forms

Fast forward to 1925, when Walter Frautschi joined Democrat Printing, the first of his 72 years with the company. The Frautschi family became sole owners of the company in 1959; only four years earlier, Walter Frautschi was joined by his son, John.

"I had worked here summers as a kid, downtown in the old building," Frautschi recalls. "I can remember walking up the steps of that place, the creaky wood and the smell of all the type solvents."
