History

Established in 1966.

Old Pueblo Printers is located in a historic building in Downtown Tucson. The building, built in 1922, has always been a print shop and previsouly housed a Spanish-​language newspaper, El Tucsonense, owned by Francisco S. Moreno and Rosa E. Moreno.

Francisco died an early death in 1929 and Rosa continued to operate the newspaper with the help of her sons. El Tucsonense played a big part in the way the City of Tucson developed its Downtown and nearby barrios during the first half of the 20th century.

During the early 1960s the newspaper bagan to fail and Rosa sold the business to her grandson Albert Elias. The print shop is now know as Old Pueblo Printers and already has a 48 year history of its own.

As a union print shop we have been associated with the International Typographical Union, now known as CWA/​ITU, since 1966. We are proud of our union heritage and share a strong bond with our union brothers and sisters at Communication Workers of America Local 7026.

Meet the Business Owner

Albert E.

Business Owner

A fourth-​generation Tucsonan, spent many hours of his youth in the shop on South Stone Avenue where El Tucsonense, a Spanish-​language newspaper that served this community for decades, was printed. It was owned by his mother’s Moreno family. In 1966, El Tucsonense ceased publication and Albert bought its building, opening Old Pueblo Printers that September — an enterprise he operates today.

Albert joined the International Typographical Union when he went to work for TNI in February 1954, and has been a dedicated union man to this day. His career with TNI came to an abrupt end when the union went on strike in 1966 and the company locked out the workers to break the union there. Albert steadfastly maintained his membership and since ITU merged with Communication Workers of America, he has been a proud member of CWA Local 7026.
