Our History - Books, Journals, Magazines, Catalogs, Article Reprints | The Sheridan Group

In 1915, Hanover, Pennsylvania entrepreneur C. N. Myers made a bold decision to start a company in order to publish and print a magazine dedicated to his passion, show chickens. Thus, Everybodys Poultry Magazine company was formed in a small local newspaper building, with nothing more than ambition and one letterpress.

The venture and the magazine were an immediate global success. Within a few decades, circulation for Everybodys Poultry Magazine had reached 140,000 worldwide. The printing and publishing of many other publications followed, as did two name changes: Everybodys Publishing Company, and, eventually, Everybodys Press. By 1960, offset equipment was added to eight letterpresses, linotype, and a binder.

In 1967, R. Champlin Sheridan became President and sole stockholder of Everybodys Press. In 1973, Champlin and his 58 employees broke ground to build a larger facility at the site where The Sheridan Press still operates today. In 1982, the company name was changed to The Sheridan Press. This change signified an increased emphasis on printing and publishing services to the scientific, technical, medical, scholarly, and special interest publishing community.

The past few decades have seen tremendous growth for The Sheridan Press–in facilities, equipment, manpower, customers and technological advancements. But one thing remains steadfast: the dedication of the employees and their commitment to provide exceptional customer satisfaction.

The Sheridan Press is the flagship company of The Sheridan Group, one of five print and publication services companies in the United States.
