in Victorian Village on Neil Avenue. Conveniently
located to Arlington, Grandview Heights,
OSU, Arena District, Short North and Downtown

NOTE
from Ellen
Clark, Class of 1969: Brad
produced t-shirts and hoodies for our son's
company, Golden Bear Lawn Care Ltd., and
not only is the quality excellent, but also
the turnaround time was unbelievably fast.
Brad and Mike are great to work with - excellent
communication, too, which I always appreciate!
NOTE
from Mary
DeCesaro Cameron, Class of 1979:
Brad and Mike created our reunion invitations
and are doing special reunion photo t-shirts
as well. I highly recommend their services
and enjoy doing business with other alums.
Even though our Class of 1979 job wasn't
a million dollar job for them, they treated
it as if it were. They were fast, and the
quality of their work is excellent.
