Cover Letter

To whom it may concern,

I have been in the printing press business since June of 1974, working with a variety of

equipment ranging from New Era, Mark Andy, PM tag and Webtron press machines. My many

years of experience in this field have taken me from simple and complex printing, to labeling,

lamination and mounting services. I have worked with such companies as Illinois Tag, Pamco

Tape and Label, Clear Lam, Fort Dearborn Flexible Packaging, Lancaster Press, Kimball

Systems, and Globe Ticket & Label, with humble beginnings at the Southtown Economist

Newspaper and most recently as a Supervisor with Dart-solo.

My position has been, a vast majority of the time, as a Press Operator with eight years

experience as the Lead Press Operator, in addition to Maintenance, Trainer and Supervisor

positions in my earlier years. During my forty years in the business, I have made a genuine effort

to apply myself to the fullest in my work.

I do hope that you consider me for a position with your business, and look forward to hearing

from you in the near future.

Sincerely,

Norman P. Lauer.
