Half a century ago, Edison Litho was started by Isidore Gross, one of the only surviving members of a large and distinguished family killed during the Holocaust. He came to this country with a wife, a young son and $50 in his pocket. With loans from friends, he opened a small printing plant on West 24th St. in Manhattan. His goal was to build his business by providing a high quality product while working hard to win the respect and trust of his customers.
Throughout his lifetime, Mr. Gross led by example, dealing honorably and fairly with employees, vendors and above all, customers. Each customer was valued. Today, his son George, President of Edison and son-in-law Joe Ostreicher, Chief Operating Officer/Director of Sales uphold this longstanding tradition of integrity, honesty and caring about the customer. Their sons and daughter are now at Edison maintaining the standards of excellence our customers have come to expect. |
