Lawton Printing Services Celebrates 75 Years!
The average life of a business is 40 years; and for family-owned businesses only 3-5% survive into the fourth generation. This year Lawton Printing Services celebrates 75 years in business, and four generations of a family legacy. The company’s beginning philosophy — to become a complete-service printer for each of their customers — is as valid today as it was then: they exist to be a valuable resource for customers in all aspects of marketing. Lawton strives to offer customers new opportunities that will enhance and diversify their business, and yours. Take a look at where it all began, by visiting their photo archives lawtonprinting.com/our-story.
