THURSDAY, APRIL 16, 2020 CALGARY HERALD A7 OIL CITY PRESS DIVERSIFIES Pamela, Dave and Doug Kletke operate Oil City Press, a 67-year-old family printing business that is now producing COVID-19 safety items. a wide variety of product that has attracted a diversified client list extending across the western provinces. Global brand Circle has its Western Canadian headquarters in Calgary and Oil City Press looks after the printing needs for all of its 320 stores stretching from Winnipeg to Vancouver Island and up to Yellowknife. Window signage, in-store promotional pieces, signs and provisionmanagement of TV screen displays Oil City is a certified Samsung dealer is all handled by the 25 staff out of the company's Calgary office. Other long-term clients include the Calgary Flames, Heritage Park, Alberta Children's Hospital Foundation and the City of Calgary, which orders all of its employee business cards through Oil City.

The company has its own graphics department to offer clients creative designs for anything from business cards to vehicle wraps that are printed and fitted at its shop. COVID-19 has also led to new business directions. Oil City Press is producing Plexiglas cashier barriers for companies After working for a time as an architectural draftsman, grandson Doug joined the firm in 1973 followed by his brother Dave who joined the firm from a radio station. Ron Sr. passed away in 1975 and Ron Jr.

took over the firm as president. He remains so today, but the two brothers now vice-presidents of the business and Doug's daughter Pamela run the day-to-day operations of the company that has seen many changes over the years as the print industry has adapted to constant adjustments. It began as a shop printing business cards, forms and brochures, but the company grew and invested in new equipment, diversifying its focus with large format presses capable of printing banners and signage that has become a specialty of Oil City Press. Fortunately, the founding fathers purchased new equipment on the premise that "if we don't have the cash, we don't buy" and that is still the mantra today. Thus, the company is not saddled with debt like so many others.

The investments have allowed Dave and Doug to be able to offer DAVID PARKER Around Town Not too many businesses in this city can claim to be family owned and thriving with a fourth-generation relative working as a proud and busy member of the team. Pamela Kletke is director of business operations at Oil City Press, a company that was founded by her great-grandfather Ron in 1953. He and his son, also named Ron, moved to Calgary from Winnipeg, where they had been in the printing industry for a number of years, and acquired Oil City Press as a one-man shop when it was located across from Ribtor on 11th Avenue S.E. At the time, Calgary was rapidly expanding and steady growth in business caused the family to relocate it to larger premises where the company still operates today in East Fairview Industrial on 11th Street S.E. such as Circle Sobeys and several smaller stores, along with face shields and other safety items such as floor decals to control social distancing.

The Kletke family is running a far different printing company than the one it launched almost 70 years ago in this city. It's good to see it still prospering as a locally owned business. NOTES In response to the devastating impact of the current pandemic on the local arts community, the Rozsa Foundation is introducing two new grant programs, providing $400,000 of additional investment into the arts sector. The one-time programs are intended to both alleviate some of the immediate financial pressures while also enabling organizations to be forward-looking, seeking opportunities to use digital technologies to deliver programming to audiences and to address specific community needs at this critical time. Levis Auctions usually has its spring art auction at Mount Royal University, but COVID-19 put the damper on that.

So, the current auction is online only, taking place this Sunday, April 19. Details are at levisauctions.com. Doug Levis says he was fortunate to be able to amass a superb collection of fine art that can be viewed on the company website or by appointment only at the auction house. He says interest is high on bids to date, on paintings by some wonderful artists such as Maxwell Bates, A.Y. Jackson, Ted Harrison and Allen Sapp.
