About This Item

The City Plant

Athryn's father was a member of the ITU from 1962 until it was dissolved and absorbed into the Communications Workers of America, which was 1986. Athryn's father was a prepress production foreman for the San Francisco Newspaper Agency, which was a joint company that produced and printed tboth the Chronicle and Examiner. His job is now obsolete, and only hipsters compose and print newspapers the way he did. The object on this tag was from a commemorative keychain he received when the San Francisco Chronicle/Examiner opened The City Plant, a gigantic newspaper production facility, and closed the printing press at the building on 5th and Mission in San Francisco.

Take it around the world, to places where newspapers are still printed.
