Staley Thomas McBrayer was a newspaper publisher and inventor best known for inventing the Vanguard web offset press for newspaper printing. A native of Saltillo, Texas, he earned degrees from East Texas State Teachers College and the University of Texas at Austin. He owned numerous newspapers in Fort Worth, other cities in the Dallas–Fort Worth metroplex, and Greater Houston. After five years of effort and experimentation, he ultimately succeeded in modifying an offset printing press designed for book printing and adapting it for printing newspapers: the resulting Vanguard web offset press, which he unveiled in 1954, reduced the cost, time, and manual labor required to print newspapers, which was especially beneficial to small newspapers. Due to his invention, he is sometimes referred to as the "Orville Wright" or "Wilbur Wright" of offset newspaper publishing.
