                    in the house of representatives

                       Thursday, October 25, 2007

  Mr. UDALL of Colorado. Madam Speaker, I rise today to acknowledge the 
100th anniversary of National Hirschfeld Press, Inc. in Denver, 
Colorado. National Hirschfeld is the largest digital and commercial 
printing company in the western United States.
  National Hirschfeld was opened in 1907 by A.B. Hirschfeld with only a 
$35 hand press, which still sits in their lobby today. Only 19 years 
old at the time, A.B. Hirschfeld used his experience from working at 
his brother's print shop in Cincinnati to make National Hirschfeld a 
success.
  The company eventually became a family business, spanning three 
generations, all of which have contributed greatly to the economic and 
social fabric of Colorado. A.B. Hirschfeld's son, Edward, carried on 
the family tradition, and started working at the store when he was 15 
years old. Now, A.B. Hirschfeld is run by the third generation of 
printers, represented by Barry Hirschfeld. In December 2005, this 
family-owned printing store expanded by merging with two other printing 
companies to become National Hirschfeld.
  Through the years, National Hirschfeld has made significant 
contributions to Colorado. The company has published inaugural programs 
for the Denver Bears, the Denver Broncos and the Colorado Rockies.
  The Hirschfeld family has also been involved in many philanthropic 
efforts in Denver. They are a genuine all-American success story.
  Madam Speaker, I ask my colleagues to join me in acknowledging 
National Hirschfeld and their employees for their commitment to 
uniquely serving their community. I congratulate all of them and wish 
the company another 100 years of success.
