Chandler and Price was founded in 1881 in Cleveland, Ohio, by Harrison T. Chandler and William H. Price. They manufactured machinery for printers including a series of platen jobbing presses, as well as paper cutters, book presses, and assorted equipment. By 1964 the offset printing industry had eclipsed the world of movable type printing thus putting C and P (and many others) out of business.

The New Style press made by Chandler and Price was such a popular press that The Practice Of Printing: Letterpress and Offset by Ralph Polk, the standard textbook for thousands of high school printing programs in the middle of the 20th century, used the press as its example when teaching students the basics of press operation.
