Smith Printing President Featured

The March 11th, 2011 edition of the Central Penn Business Journal contained this article featuring a Q&A with Smith Printing president, Matthew D. Smith.  David A. Smith Printing continues its role as the region’s premier printer as well as affirming our status as print and marketing subject matter experts.

Answering the Call

The newspaper article shown in the photograph above was from the March 12th, 2011, Harrisburg Patriot News.  It highlighted the unusual request made of Smith Printing.  The Mayor of Harrisburg needed flood information packets to distribute to Harrisburg residents on the even of a large flooding event.  The problems were that the city had no packets in inventory, nor the funds to produce more.  So the request was made and Smith Printing answered the call.

Congratulations, Bill!
