Page 6 THE NEWS-TRIBUNE March 28 , 198 0Employee-Owned Pr in t ing F i rmStar ted Wi th Borrowed $450By MACK WILLIAMSPaul T onsing borrowed $450 in 1956 to s tart a printing business. Today he grosses $10 million a year,employs 165 persons and has customers from coact tocoast.

Even in Fort Worth,where rags to richesstories are common,Tonsing's success isunusual. Now that hehas built up his businesshe's selling it to hisemployees. Eighteen ofthem are stockholdersand Printing Center ofTexas Inc., 210 Jones, isone of the outstandingw o r k e r - o w n e d c o m panies in the state.The 25-year-old firm,sca t te red in sevenbuildings, is constructing a new one on a6V2-acre site at 701 E.Fifth to put all depart- Paul Tonsingments under one roof. Moving is already under waywith the five big web presses scheduled to make thejourney one at a time on weekends.Presiding over the carefully-timed maneuver, whichinvolves scores of newspapers and other publicationsprinted by the company, is Paul Tonsing, a World WarII M arine. The property a t Second and Jones, leased by

Tonsing 18 years ago, has been sold and will become thesite of a five-story parking garage for the two CityCenter skyscrapers that Sid Bass will build in a four-block area adjoining his Americana/Tandy CenterHotel. * * *OLDTIME PRINTERS had wanderlust, and Tonsing was no exception. Both he and his company havetraveled far.Son of a Lutheran minister in Atchison, Kan., whohad t o run a print shop on the side to feed his wife andeight children, Tonsing grew up amid the type cases.He started at 12 and set forth on his travels at 18, whenhis father died. By the time World War II erupted hewas a Linotype operator on the Los Angeles Times."I enlisted in the Marines in 1941 because th erecruiting officer promised me the besHooking j

uniform, "To nsin g recalls. He also got a n acute case ofelephantitis during his 17 months in the Pacific."Back in San Francisco I met a cute M arine corporal(of the opposite sex) who whistled to me on th e street.She says I whistled to her. It-turned out to be a boat inthe harbor whistling to both of us. After a whirlwindcourtship of six weeks we were married in 1944. It proved to be a very happy marriage," Tonsing says.Martha Tonsing was from Tex as and when it becamedifficult to ren t an apartm ent in Los Angeles they cam ehere with a new baby, planning to return to Californiaeventually. Paul was hired as a Linotype operator byBranch-Smith Publishing Co. but the lure of free enter-prise was overpowering. He and Martha bought th#weekly Mansfield News.Serving as editor, typesetter, makeup man andpressman, Tonsing found the challenge great b ut th e income small during his three years of ownership. Back tea Linotype he went, this time on the For t Worth Press ,and later as a night operator at the Star-Telegram andthe All-Church Press while he spent days buying, selling and servicing printing equipment, mostlyLinotypes. * * *IN 1956 HE BORROWED that $450 from the bank,bought a'Linotype sight unseen from the back of atruck, and set up shop as a typesetter for weeklynewspapers, working 60 to 80 hours a week. His firm,Printers Service Co., acquired a hand-fed Babcock pressto print the papers and later moved up to an automaticpress from Arkansas which could print 1,500 eight-pagepapers an hour.

This w as dazzling speed to Tonsing, but the best wasyet to come. Staley McBrayer, publisher of severalweeklies and dailies here, developed his web rotarynewspaper offset press called the Vanguard. Turningout 15,000 papers an hour with attractive color printing, it m ade letterpress obsolete overnight.With McBrayer and Tonsing as partners and an$80,000 Vanguard for starters, Printing Center Inc.opened in 1962 in a 5,000-square foot building at 215Jones. In a short time the large Bowman Biscuitbuilding across the street was rented and the originalbuilding became Printing Center's job shop.* * *VANGUARD PRESS CO. evolved into the CottreUPrinting Press Co. and eventually; the, Harris press.When McBrayer sold his newspapers Slid Ms pressContinued on Page f

Printing Firm Moving,One Roof At Last

Continued from Page 6company stock to th e Dallas News, his Printing Centerstock was part of the package. The Fort Worth Shopper, then owned by Homer Tomlinson Jr. and TedTomlinson, bought the Printing Center shares, sellingthem to Tonsing in 1968, a transaction that made himsole owner.

Today, with stock held by 18 employees, the firm isthriving a s never before. Together with t he five web off-set presses it operates four sheet-fed offset presses anda com plete bindery.S Several newspapers, including TheNews-Tribune, areturned out on Printing Center's big web presses everyweek. Circulars and books also are specialties of thefirm, which hired its first salesman in 1968 to augm entTonsing's work. Today there arefiveand the customersare located in many states.David Shipps, whose father was an oldtime FortWorth newspaper pressman, joined Printing Centersoon after it was launched and is president today. Thevice presidents are Joe Martin, production manager,an d Al Samaniego, pressroom superintendent. JohnRiley is secretary-treasurer and Herb Chapm an, also aformer Marine and newspaper publishing executive, isoffice manager.Other key employees are Louise Rushing, creditmanager and bookkeeper; Stanley Cole, job shop andbindery supervisor, and salesmen Don Roessler, JohnRobbins, Wayne Douglas, Tommy Tomlinson andPhyllis Suttles.Printing Center has never stopped growing and PaulTonsing has never stopped traveling. He and Martha,who have three children and five grandchildren, havemade several trips around the world since their Marinedays. They never did make it back to California.

WEDNESDAY EVENING, JUNE 25, 1980 FORT WORTH STAR-TELEGRAM

m

-Star-Telegram PhotoN e i g h b o r s PaulTonsingIf Paul Tonsing had his way he'd be tra velingail the time. "I like to travel, so does my wife,"says Tonsing. "We've made 11 cruises, twoaround the world, and soon to take off for theSouth Pacific."For Tonsing it will be a return to Samoa

where he once was stationed with the M arinesin World War II. The Marines, more or less, ar eresponsible for his being in Fort Worth. "I was alinotype operator in Los Angeles when I went inthe Marines," the Atchison, Kan., native says."In the Marines I met this lady M ar in e. . . shewas from Weatherford . . . and after the warwhen we couldn't find a place to live in Califor-

nia, we came to Fort Worth temporarily."They have two sons, a daughter and fivegrandchildren no longer are they considered "temporary." They bought the Mansfieldnewspaper when they came and after runningit for a few years Tonsing sold it and startedwhat today is the "Printing Center," a sprawling print complex soon to move into a singlebuilding.And, when not working, traveling or "yes, Ido like to eat." Tonsing is building a replica of a1929 Mercedes roadster. "Just don't like watching TV." - GEORGE SMITH
