ACME

Acme Typesetting and Make Up Service was established in 1957 on Wethersfield Ave in Hartford by my Grandfather John Elton Lewis know by his friends and customers as "Elt". He started the business as a trade source for hot metal type. Jobs were set, spaced and proofread and ready for the customer to print on their own letterpress. Having come from a background of installing and erecting Intertype machines for newspapers and other large print shops throughout New England it only seemed fitting to start his own typesetting business. In 1959 my Father Jeffrey F Lewis came to work for Acme Typesetting full time and served his apprenticeship for 7 years learning the trade of type composition and makeup, working right alongside my Grandfather for nearly 20 years...
