Label TextIn 1882, Frank Lawson, a reporter with the London Advertiser, and Henry Jones, a compositor with the same newspaper, established the printing business that bore their name. At first printing drug labels, the business soon expanded.
A Lawson family enterprise from 1913, the company diversified its product line as well as adopted new technology. This sped up production and improved quality.
Although it expanded its operations across Canada, Lawson & Jones remained committed to London and Londoners. It endured in the city into the early 21st century.
