The acquired firms continued to operate under then current management as part of the direct mail/graphic arts and publishing division of Computer Applications, Inc. (CAI).[2]
  • Arlington House was later acquired by Starr Broadcasting, which was sold to Shamrock Broadcasting in 1979. Shamrock sold Arlington House to Crown Publishing in 1981.[3]
