curious that nobody mentioned Kodak. I was working for Danka when they acquired Kodak. It created a mess but the equipment was solid.

Re: Old Copier Brochures & Ads Preserved @ Print4Pay Hotel

Your Blog was forwarded to me and it was very interesting. I started my Office Equipment carrier January 1958 with Anderson Office Equipment in Great Falls, Mt. At that time we had the Franchise for Friden Calculators, Royal Typewriters and Verifax (Kodak) Copiers. At that time our main competitor was 3M Thermo-faxes. Montana did not see the Xerox 914 until the early 60's and it pretty well spelled the end to the Verifax and Thermo-fax. I started my own business in Helena, Mt. January 1,...

Marian and I have never met, however it seems we were both selling copiers in New Jersey in the Eighties.

While I was hustling copiers in Central Jersey, Marian was doing the same in North Jersey. Selling Copiers in the Eighties with Marian Janes How did you find your way into the copier industry?

A few weeks ago Jack Carol send me a message on facebook and stated that I should get in contact with Rod "RJ" Nafziger. Jack made mention that Rod made his mark in the industry with selling Apeco copiers. Rod and I have been connected on Linkedin for years, but for some reason I never knew his back ground was copiers. For all these years I knew him as the A rtisan Gelato Maestro of Venice! How did you find your way to the copier industry? I began my career in Cable Television out of...

Art Post ·
If you're reading this blog series for the first time you'll notice one of these icons . Clicking that icon will take you the collection of blogs that we've posted with our amazing industry veterans who were selling copiers in the seventies. I believe its important that we not only post these blogs but to also have them archived for our industry. Rich Sissen is President and Owner of Sissen and Associates. We met via email and had a couple of phone conversations about our early copiers days.

MARIAN is upbeat and true to her words. My pleasure to have worked with her as she developed and managed Ricoh University. She is generous in her spirit which seems to repay her beyond Sad to hear about the “ boys club”mentality that treated her poorly. But that proved her toughness under her gentle veneer. chuck parr

Nothing was "reliable" back then! Such a funky era of technology thinking back on it all. There were so many different physical configurations of copy machines back then. Each was a marvel of engineering chaos. I remember it well since the company that first hired me would work on anything they could get their hands on. I worked on plenty of those SCMs and Saxons when I first started out. They both went from liquid to dry toner technology before their demise. Saxon put their name on the...

I started with SCM in 1963 in Honolulu. SCM was king of the copier world back then. They had an excellent line of copiers, all the model numbers were double digits, 33, 44, 55, 111. The 55 was the first console with dual paper feeds and was the basis of three more spinoff models, the 111 and the 211 and the 412. Then in 1975, along came "black Friday" over a hundred branches were closed of sold to dealers. Their heyday was over. The Japanese came into the market and even though SCM sold...
