My mother's father had his own printing shop and was a typesetter by trade. He used to have rows and rows of drawers of individual letters of different sizes and styles made of lead that he'd have to put together in sentences, paragraphs, stories, and pages and mount into a cast iron frame and mount that into a huge printing press...and away he went.

She was a little girl with button up shoes back then. Don't know about my father's father. He and my father's brothers didn't survive WWII in Poland.
