Albert Dick

Albert Blake Dick (born April 16, 1856 - died August 15, 1934) was a businessman and founder of the A.B. Dick Company (1884). It was originally a lumber company, but became a manufacturer of copy machines and office supplies after Dick licensed autographic printing patents from Thomas Edison and coined the word "mimeograph" in 1884. His son Sheldon relied on the Dick fortune in support of his efforts in publishing, photography, and film. In Canada there is a museum piece AB Dick press from the 1920s in their Canadian Head Office.
