Lane Press Revenue and Competitors

Over the years, Lane Press has grown from a small letterpress operation with a handful of employees to a prominent magazine printer with 350 employees. It all began in 1904 when Frank Lane started the company as a small letterpress operation on Main Street in Burlington, Vermont. In 1924, his son Ben Lane took over the company and its 12 employees. Known as a "job shop," Lane Press printed invoices, pamphlets, posters and other items for area businesses. In 1935, the company moved to the Kilburn and Gates building on St. Paul Street in Burlington. In the late 1950s, Oscar Drumheller bought the business from Ben Lane and continued to operate from the St. Paul Street location until 1987 when the company moved to its modern printing facility in South Burlington. Today the business runs successfully under the leadership of Mr. Drumheller's son, Philip, who serves as the company president. Visit here to see a brief photographic tour of the company's history.
