The International Publishing Association
By E. T. Russell
THE International Publishing Association has purchased a two-story frame building in College View, Neb., 24 x 50 feet, with a good cellar under it, at a cost of nine hundred dollars. There are six rooms on the second floor, which will provide ample room for editorial work. In the front of the first story will be located the manager’s office, and immediately back of that, the stock room. Attached to the rear of the main building is a one-story building, in which will be placed the two printing presses. It is designed to build a one-story addition on the west side of the main building, about fourteen feet in width, which will be used as a composing room. There will also be provided a small building in which to place the engine, and a well to furnish water for the plant. It is to be hoped that the total cost of the property, including improvements, will not exceed eighteen hundred dollars. The reason why the board of trustees deemed it advisable to purchase rather than to build was in order to save expense, as at the present cost of material, in order to build a plant with sufficient space, it would require quite a sum of money, which, instead of investing in the plant, they desire to use in the circulation of literature. It has been recommended by some, and the board of trustees deems it advisable, to purchase the stock of foreign publications at present owned by the Review and Herald Publishing Association, and thus make the International Publishing Association the publishing and distributing center of our foreign literature in America. They hope soon to be able to fill all orders for books, tracts, and pamphlets in the German, Swedish, and Danish-Norwegian languages. I hope all who read this article will bear this in mind. E. T.
