My apologies, as what I’m going to mention, Russ Horn’s
passing, happened early in 2016.

Russell Horn, Jr., an outstanding person ….and a very nice guy, served for several years as
President of Print-O-Stat. He passed
away on January 18th, 2016.

Print-O-Stat, a well-respected reprographics company with
multiple locations in Pennsylvania, Maryland and Virginia (10 locations total),
was one of my competitors when I was in business in the Washington-Baltimore
Common Market Area back in the 1980’s.

I met Russ a couple of times; once at an Eastern
Reprographics Association convention and once at Print-O-Stat’s HQ’s office in
York, PA. The purpose of my visit to his
office in York – was to express my company’s interest in purchasing
Print-O-Stat. (There was no interest on
Russ’ part.)

Most reprographers who know of Print-O-Stat are probably
not aware that it is owned by PACE Resources, a company that also owns a fairly
large E/A firm, Buchart-Horn.

I never asked Russ for the full story about the founding of
Print-O-Stat. I suspect that P-O-S began
as the reprographics department of Buchart-Horn, but, after Russ’ father
realized that reprographics was a real-live business, it was spun off into its
own separate business (subsidiary)…..and it grew from that point into a strong
regional player in the reprographics industry.
