Celebrating Nevada

Celebrating Nevada Day  and a Printer Named Twain

Reno Type will be closed Friday, October 31, in observance of Nevada Day, celebrating the day our state joined the Union in 1864. We’ll be back in the office Monday, November 3.

Before Mark Twain became America’s most celebrated humorist, he was a printer right here in Nevada. He set type, inked presses, and wrangled words long before he made a fortune doing it on paper instead of with it. Twain left the territory just before Nevada became a state—which might say something about Twain, about Nevada, or maybe about printers.

Either way, we’re proud to keep ink on paper in the Silver State.
Happy Nevada Day from all of us at Reno Type.
