It is estimated that nearly every print shop in nearly every town in the entire United States at one time had at least one printer operating a Chandler and Price Platen press. If a favorite press poll was ever conducted among pressmen and printshop owners, there is little doubt that the C&P would win hands down.

Pressmen loved its easy accessibility for makeready, long impression dwell, pause for feeding plus its heavy precision construction which enabled the C&P to print "run of the hook" from a postage stamp to large four-color register forms or die cutting.

Proprietors loved its ability to run just about any job profitably with practically no "down time" for maintenance.

Harrison T. Chandler, an Illinois banker, while negotiating to buy an interest in the Cleveland Type Foundry, met William H. Price, the son of a printing press builder. Mr. Chandler & Mr. Price joined forces in 1881 and decided to enter the growing market and build a platen press.
They bought George P. Gordon's patent, resdesigned most mechanisms of his press, and began to manufacture the Chandler & Price Gordon Platen Press - the most prolific of all platen presses built by the longest-lasting - and in fact, the last American company to produce a hand-fed, flywheel-driven platen press.
