At one time they employed 1,500 people, the largest employer in the county. Tomorrow they will close the doors, probably for good. On Line available Subscriptions have killed paper printing world wide. Some of the most advanced printing equipment in the world is setting idle in that plant and no market to sell it. Some of it has already been sold for scrap iron.
A lot of good people I know have lost their jobs. I guess time changes most everything and we have to roll with the punches and move on!

23-ish years ago we built a very complicated building addition for the local newspaper to house a state of the art German printing press. Whole project was tens of millions of dollars with the equipment. 10 years ago the newspaper shut down that operation and scrapped the press. A solar company recently purchased the building.....sign of the times for sure.

1967 4K[/Q At one point R.R. Donnelley and Sons was the #1 employer here in the county of Lancaster PA with 3 plant locations. Once they lost the TV Guide contract years ago its been a downward spiral for them .

Oh my, not good news and like most of you I will miss looking at each months auction news, tech questions, and car/tech articles. Glad our 68 was in on issue and they had photographed our 69 L78 Nova for an article but don't have to wonder when that might be. Darn, we have lost a ton of magazines....

This is unfortunate… Had hoped this publication would be then one that lasted. I have every issue and review them often. Would have paid more to keep a subscription up. Just not the same reading this stuff on a laptop or iPad…..

Jake, funny you should tell a solar company had bought the Lancaster plant. Just two weeks ago a Chinese solar panel manufacturer looked at the Danville plant.
Hmmm, same guy owns both facilities. Maybe the Chinese chose PA over Ky..

They cancelled both magazines. Muscle Machines and Classic Car.

I’ve got an idea!!

MCACN monthly?? What do you say Bob? There’s a void that has created an opportunity.
