EPC will celebrate 70th anniversary with community event BY ADRIAN ESCHENWALD
In 1954, Alvin Engle bought a printing press with a dream of starting his own publication. Alvin, who had been working full time in the printing business, put the press in the basement of his home in Mount Joy,
and together he and his wife, Pauline, laid the foundation for what would become Engle Printing & Publishing Co., Inc. (EPC). As EPC celebrates its 70th anniversary this year, the company invites members of the community to attend an open house from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m. on See EPC pg 4
Members of the 70th anniversary committee and EPC staff invite the community to attend the open house celebration.
