History
The Meyer Family has owned the building on 24th street since 1894. The very first car, The Pioneer was built here by J.A. Meyer in 1896, surviving then pressed into service during the 1906 earthquake, becoming a part of Bay Area history. Subsequent Meyer family operated an automotive repair and emergency service business through 1945. Not long after WW2 in a room very near to where the pioneer was built, J.A.’s grandson Robert H. Meyer, established a printing business. Using many of his grandfather’s tools and parts, he built and maintained his printing equipment and the business until his retirement in 1998 at the age of 82. It is in this spirit that today Fred Meyer, Robert’s son, a retired San Francisco Fire Lieutenant and his wife Dani, use the word Cliché as a nod to the mechanical entrepreneurs in the family.
