Page 12 - The Chronicle, Thursday, December 17, 1981 black business Business of the Week Miller Believes In High Quality By Beverly McCarthy Staff Writer Although “Miller the Printer” likes to relax in his black leather chair, when in his office, and enjoy a long cigar, James Robert Miller III often works around the clock to achieve a finished printed product. “Dedica tion and determination get the job done,” he said. also holds membership in various civic organizations: the Greater Winston-Salem Chamber of Commerce, the Patterson Avenue V.M.C.A. Century Club, f Ionic Lodge No. 72, Prince Hall Affiliate, The Free and Accepted Masons and the Nobels of the Sethos Tem ple No. 170 A.E.A.O.M.S. Inc. Miller is owner and manager of Miller Printing Company. Displayed on the wall of Miller’s office are some of his many certificates and awards which mark his business expertise. The Master Printers Section of the Printing Industry of America Inc., the Printing Industry of Illinois, the William L. Dawson School of Business Management and the Operation Small Business Enterprise of the Babcock School of Management all document Miller’s professional prin ting capabilities. Miller opened his business in Winston in February of 1973. With 35 years of prin ting experience under his belt, he believes that he knows just about all there is to know about printing. And even though he may be mature in age, his mind ap pears to be a constant growth of new and young ideas. rv While his professional degrees cover all aspects of the printing business. Miller “Youth is not a time of life, it is a state of mind, a temper of the will, a quality of the imagination, a vigor of the emotions, a freshness of the deep strings of life.” he said. Miller added that nobody grows old merely by living a number of years, but that people grow old by deserting their ideals. “Years wrinkle the skin. but to give up enthusiasm wrinkles the soul,” Miller said. It is this theory that has made Miller printing suc cessful and kept it going throughout the years. “I come in at six o’clock in the morning, and I am here until very late some days,” he said. “That’s what has kept us opened, and that’s what I’m determined to do.” Miller .sees the lack of sup port from the black com munity as an obstacle that James Robert Miller, III he must conquer. He says that the reason blacks don’t support minority businesses as they should stems from a lack of understanding bet ween the businesses and the community. And while he admits that there are some minority businesses (just as there are some white businesses) that don’t offer good service, this, he believes, should not stop blacks from patroniz ing other black businesses. “There are some who don’t know what they’re doing, but for those of us who do, we should be given a chance to show that do,” he said. Are you just a number where you bank? Try Mechanics and Fatitu Bank, with us you are truly somebody special! “Miller the Printer” is confident that no matter what happens, his doors will stay open because he knows his trade. BUILDING ON YOUR ROOTS “Like 1 said, dedication and determination gets the job done, but in business you’ve got to know what you’re doing,” he said.
