Jack Chambers
remembers a printing company at this location [E 4th St. at Crosby St.] - can anyone else
help with the name? Thanks
to Bernadette Grovola Bennett,
Beethoven2401@cs.com, we have the answer:
"One of the printing companies in Chester
which you mention was Downham Press.
Originally, it was located across from the railroad tracks on 4th & Crosby St.
That is the printing company about which you requested more information. Later in the 60's
they moved to 9th Street near Edgmont. My aunt and uncle, Peter and Mary Stankus,
worked for that company for many years and Jack Downham was a good friend of theirs.
So, to answer your question, the printing company on 4th St. is the same company that was
on 9th Street." |

"My
greatgrandfather was a printer in Chester, Pa in the early 1900's maybe the 20's or 30's.
His name was John Ward and his family lived on Packer Street. I have a small hand bound
journal of his and a cigar die that he also used for printing cigar box lids. I am not
sure where his shop was. Thus my finding your site as I would like to know more about him.
My grandfather Samuel B Ward grew up in Chester and worked for I B Thomas, I believe, as a
chemist. He lived most of his life in Mickleton,NJ. That is where I am originally from,
the town of Clarksboro. Thanks to
Larry Ward,
