Hitchcock Press, Inc.

ues Wisly as owners; as of 1900 Jacques Wisly was listed as sole owner. By 1916 Jacques had moved the company to 78 Hitchcock St. Besides publishing the "New England Runschau" the company published several other newspapers. They also engraved and letterpress printed letterheads, billheads and labels. In 1921 the company became the Wisly Lithograph and Printing Company. In 1934 when Jacques's son and daughter Victor Wisly and Regina Brooks became co-owners the business was renamed the Wisly-Brooks Company. Most of their work was letterpress printing using hand set type, electrotype and photo engraved plates. They were also known for their lithographic printing where heavy litho stones were used. Those stones were hand engraved and fine details were possible, limited only by the skill of the engraver. In 1956 the company was purchased by David Kornetsky who gave it its present name, Hitchcock Press. Guy Gaulin purchased the business. He brought substantial offset and letterpress printing experience to the business; as well as high standards of quality and service. Those standards have remained the keystone of the organization's philosophy. Today Hitchcock Press, under the management of Guy's daughter Deanna Gaulin, produces high quality sheet-fed offset and "Fine Letterpress" printing with emphasis on unique solutions for our customers. Our offset printing ranges from one-color to four-color process printing with sizes up to 28"x40".
