HENRY A. FLINT - Vol III, pg 383
Henry A. Flint, president of the Twin City Brief Printing Company, was born in
St. Paul, on the 26th of August, 1860, the son of Samuel M. and Manoi (Craig)
Flint. He belongs to an old New England colonial family, the first of the Flints
having been early settlers in the northern colonies. In his mother's branch of
the family he is connected with another old American family, his maternal
grandmother's name having been Vinton before her marriage to Mr. Craig. Mr.
Flint has spent practically his entire life in the Twin Cities and he was
educated in the St. Paul schools, attending the grade and high schools. His
first business position was in the box office of the St. Paul Opera House, where
he remained for ten years. From this work he went to Devil's Lake, North Dakota,
with a construction company that was putting through one of the James J. Hill
projects. Two years later he returned to St. Paul and embarked in the brief
printing business as secretary of what is now known as the Review Publishing
Company. In 1907 he became manager of the Minne­apolis branch of the business,
which in 1912 was incorporated as the Twin City Brief Printing Company, with Mr.
Flint as president. As its name suggests, this firm is engaged in the printing
of legal briefs and enjoys a large patronage from the legal profession, which is
most happy to have its printing done by a concern that thoroughly understands
the peculiarities of its form and context. Mr. Flint was the first man to make a
specialty of brief publishing and is an expert in his department of the
publishing trade.
In 1891 Mr. Flint was united in marriage to Miss Adeline Pelsey, and they have
one daughter, Ethel N., who is now Mrs. H. O. Flakne of St. Paul.
Since young manhood Mr. Flint has had to depend upon his own resources for his
support and advancement. The success that he has attained is a convincing
illustration of the value of knowing one thing well and doing it better than
anyone else. Believing that efficiency and skill are the keys to achievement in
this utilitarian age, he applied himself to the mastery of his own special
branch of the publishing business with such determination that he soon became a
recognized authority on his subject, while his excellent work was a sufficient
advertisement of his firm among its select patronage. The legal fraternity was
only too glad to recognize its merits by generous orders for work.
