West Chicago Printing Company 100 Years

My career in mass-media began back in 1979 at a weekly local newspaper and print shop called “The West Chicago Press.” The Treudt family not only gave me my first real job, they became life-long friends. The newspaper has since gone the way of most weekly publications. However, the printing operation survives. Recently the West Chicago Printing Company celebrated it’s 100 year anniversary. This interview with Bill Treudt and Modesto “Mo” Zarate, recounts daily life and laughs that went with the newspaper and printing business in the 20th century.
