Printing Impressions’ 50th Anniversary — Ages-old Concerns

• Postal Rate Hikes

At least one postal rate increase was reported in PI between 1958 and 1959.

Regular editorial coverage was devoted to this ongoing topic, including articles that cited industry organizations urging legislators to reduce postal service costs.

• Education, Labor

The Education Council of the Graphic Arts Industry sets up a scholarship/national school trust fund worth $500 per year for four years, but the amount will rise to $1,000 annually in 1959-60, according to one report. A new “Positions Wanted” page is published, where college and trade school graduates post their names and the types of graphic arts jobs they’re pursuing.
