Wherever you go you see the,most widely used method of advertising - screen printing.
T-shirt designs advertise a summer resort, an ancient city or a favorite car dealership. Sweatshirts are stamped with sports teams, alma maters or the team’s mascot. Tote bag emblems tout vacation spots, fashionable ladies’ wear or mark significant days of the year. Little kids’ t-shirts are screen printed with favorite tbys, television characters or storybook friends.
Screen printing is everywhere — from your kitchen calendar to your athletic clothes in the gym.
It’s a billion-dollar business and is usually done in large factories with high-tech, fully automated machines which produce thousand of items daily.
Except in some cases - like that of Bill and Lois FitzSimons of Huntly.
Bill and Lois produce one item - t-shirts, totebags, sweatshirts, children’s wear, calendars or even ladies’ lingerie - at a time on a wooden screen-printing machine built by Bill FitzSimons.
