We have, between us, over 170 years of experience. More than half
our staff have been with us for 11 years or more and even our "new
guy" has been here for almost 6 years. A number of our staff were
recruited from other copy centers (no surprise there). Being a
member of a collective, where your contribution is valued and your
decisions matter, engenders a high degree of loyalty and commitment.
The value to our customers is that no one here is just filling in
or marking time — we know our stuff. Each piece of equipment in the
shops was researched and purchased with the full input and
participation of the staff. We hammer out everything from prices to
products as a team devoted to this community, this business, its
history, its future and to one another.
Work isn't everything though. We count among us a number of
artists, writers, authors, photographers, musicians and even an
historian; we're straight, lesbian and gay; we're parents and not;
we're single and long-married. One of us is even a Grandpa.
