Herbick & Held Printing Company was a high-end financial printer in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, that did business with many prominent companies such as US Steel, Mellon Bank and Gulf Oil, printing annual reports and other financial documents. It also printed many volumes for the University of Pittsburgh Press. The company printed the baseball programs for the Pittsburgh Pirates for many years, including the 1960 World Series Program. A copy of this program exists in the Heinz museum on the north side of Pittsburgh. Another memorable printing job was for RCA. Several million copies of the insert for the "Sound of Music" album was printed in the late 1960s.
