Hi Elaine, I can tell you a little bit about R & R Clark as I worked there for a couple of years after I left school. That was in 1952. Also my mother and grandfather and one of my aunts also worked there way back. It was a printers mainly and was quite a large operation. They were located on Brandon St. in Edinburgh. The building was still there a couple of years ago when I was last in Edinburgh. The company no longer exists however. They did quality work, especially medical books for the university. I recall that they also printed "Who's Who" and a variety of novels, etc. Hope this is of interest. Cheers, Jim Mercer in Hamilton, Canada. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Elaine McNulty" <macmac3@optusnet.com.au> To: <MIDLOTHIAN-L@rootsweb.com> Sent: Friday, January 21, 2005 4:22 PM Subject: [MLN] Publishing Co > My grandfather apparently worked for a publishing company in the early 1900's called Rand R Clark.

Thank you Jim for that information. I wonder if our grandfathers knew each other??
