Alan,
I wanted to thank you for helping me sell my father's model p printing press to Scott from Williard, Ohio. Scott and his father Roger are going to teach his young daughter how to use it so the the old ways of printing will thankfully continue. I never would of sold it without your help plus it went to a good home. Thanks again.
Regards - John Chase
