Printing and Mailing the Review

It may be of interest to our readers to know the particulars concerning the time of printing and mailing our regular weekly edition of the REVIEW. As has already been stated, we do not have the facilities in our present temporary quarters for doing our own presswork, but have it done for us at one of the printing offices in the city. Of course we do not wish them to do this work for us on the Sabbath, and they do not run their office on Sunday. It would be altogether too early, and would interfere seriously with our plans, to send the paper to press on Friday, and it follows that Monday morning is the earliest time practicable to begin to print the paper. The mailing begins on Tuesday morning, the papers for the conferences just east of the Rocky Mountains being sent out first. All the papers are mailed as quickly as is possible after they are printed, with the purpose to reach all the subscribers east of the Rocky Mountains before the following Sabbath. After we have built our own printing plant, as we hope to do next season, we can go to press one day earlier, and we shall thus be able to serve our subscribers better. In the meantime we shall do the best we can under the circumstances. The fact that the paper is dated on Thursday, instead of Tuesday as formerly, does not make any difference in the time of mailing. We could not go to press any earlier if the paper was dated on Tuesday.
