After 115 years, Sanders Printing Co has left the Sanders family (Preview)

Date:

Sanders Brothers
Five of the original seven Sanders brothers, from left, John G., William W., George, Edward, and Carl. Sanders speculated a special occasion must have gathered them from across the Midwest, perhaps the funeral for the eldest brother, Benjamin Franklin Sanders. The youngest brother, Albert Arthur, died at the early age of 22 years, 2 months and 22 days. He had been a war correspondent during the Spanish-American War for the New York World and covered Teddy Roosevelt's campaign in Cuba, where he contracted malaria and died of complications from the disease.

All good things must come to an end, but luckily, endings often mean new beginnings, as well. On Tuesday, Bob Sanders sold his business, Sanders Printing Co., to Preferred Printing, a sale that came about after several months of discussion.

"Sanders Printing Co., Garretson's oldest main street business, and perhaps South Dakota's oldest non-agriculture family business, has been sold to a Sioux Falls printing firm," Sanders announced.

"The Sanders Printing Co. was formed in 1906 when J. G. (John) Sanders bought the Garretson News," Sanders said. "He was one of seven brothers who were raised in a homestead near Nemaha, NE, a small Missouri River town a few miles north of the Kansas border. All of them would be associated with news papering throughout the Midwest and Great Plains."
