A. B., Edward and Barry Hirschfeld
The Hirschfeld legacy in both business and philanthropy spans three generations. A.B. Hirschfeld began his family’s business, the A.B. Hirschfeld Press, in 1907, at the age of 19. After working for his brother's printing company, he ventured from Cincinnati, OH, to Denver, CO.
The second generation of the Hirschfeld printing dynasty, Edward Hirschfeld, was born during the inaugural year of the Hirschfeld Press and entered the business at age fifteen. During his tenure, the Press moved three times to accommodate the expanding company, ultimately settling at their current location on Smith Road, where the Press has resided since 1973.
Today, the Hirschfeld Press is supervised by Barry Hirschfeld, grandson of the founder. In 1966, Barry assumed the helm of the family business after graduating from California State Polytechnic University. They have printed the inaugural programs for the Denver Broncos, Denver Bears, and the Colorado Rockies. Ninety-six years after A.B. Hirschfeld’s humble beginnings, the Press serves customers throughout the United States.
Not only has the Hirschfeld family been leaders in the business sector, but they have also dedicated themselves to the Denver community. A.B. Hirschfeld served on over fifty civic organizations and became a great champion for the elderly. He was one of the founders of the Denver Housing Authority, a senior citizen housing development, and in 1967, Hirschfield Towers was named in his honor. In addition to his business and civic commitments, he served fourteen years in the Colorado State Legislature and six years in the Colorado State Senate.
Edward Hirschfeld concentrated his civic efforts on tourism in Colorado. Aside from founding the Hundred Club of Denver, he has served as Board Chair of the United Way. He was also active in the Anti-Defamation League and the Allied Jewish Foundation.
