Historical Note

Bristol (1841-1920) came to Wyoming in the late 1860s and formed the S.A. Bristol Company, a printing and bookbinding company, in Cheyenne in 1869. Bristol served as president of the company until his death, when his son Charles assumed ownership. Following Charles' death in 1927, the company was sold in 1931.
