HENRY M. HALL - Vol III, pg 81-82
One of the representative business enterprises of Minneapolis is the Henry M.
Hall Printing Company, which Mr. Hall established in 1911. He was born in Maine
on the 25th of January, 1849, a son of John F. H. and Louise B. Hall.
In the acquirement of his early education Henry M. Hall attended the common
schools of Maine. He was but twelve years of age when his father died and he was
then thrown upon his own resources. He set out to learn the printer's trade and
in 1871 came to Minneapolis, where for some time he was in partnership with W.
A. Brecht and subsequently became associated with H. J. Schilken. For ten years
he was a member of the printing concern operated under the name of Hall, Black &
Company, and in 1911 he determined to establish an independent business, and
laid the foundations for the present Henry M. Hall Printing Company, which is
one of the representative enterprises of its kind in this city. There is no
phase of the business with which Mr. Hall is not thoroughly familiar and he
enjoys an extensive and lucrative patronage. The best principles of integrity
and honor govern him in all transactions and he is held in high esteem. The
religious faith of Mr. Hall is that of the Westminster Presbyterian church, to
the support of which he is "a generous contributor, and his political allegiance
is given to the republican party. Although he has never sought nor desired
public office, he is ever cognizant cf the duties and responsibilities as well
as the privi­leges of good citizenship and to that end is active in the
furtherance of every movement for the upbuilding of the city, county and state.
His friends in this city are legion.
