The Annual Meeting of the Pacific Press Publishing Company
THE Pacific Press Publishing Company held its first general meeting in Mountain View, Cal., January 23. Coming at the close of the Bookmen's Convention and the meetings of the Pacific Union and California Conference Committees, there was a good attendance and much interest. There was a deficit during the last eight months, the length of the last fiscal year, consequent upon moving from Oakland; but there was a spirit of hope and courage that, in our new home, with new and more effective organization and facilities, and especially the blessing of God, there would be success in the year to come. The following board of directors was elected: M. C. Wilcox, E. A. Chapman, C. H. Jones, W. B. White, M. H. Brown, H. H. Hall, A. O. Tait. This board was subsequently organized as follows: President, M. C. Wilcox; vice-president, C. H. Jones; secretary, B. R. Nordyke; treasurer, E. A. Chapman; auditor, J. J. Ireland. The working forces were organized as follows: General manager, C. H. Jones; manager book and periodical department, H. H. Hall; superintendent manufacturing department, C. H. Jones; assistant superintendent, F. H. Gage; manager Kansas City Branch, James Cochran; manager Portland Branch, W. V. Sample. It was greatly regretted that we could not have with us in the year to come our president of the past three years, W. T. Knox. He, however, declined the burden, but assures us of his willingness to meet us in counsel at all times. The present board earnestly solicits the prayers of our brethren and their hearty co-operation in the promulgation of this last message of mercy to the world.—Signs of the Times.
