The Sale of Spanish Publications

By E. R. P.

The following extract from a letter from C. H. Jones, manager of the Pacific Press Publishing Association, shows the wonderful increase this year over any preceding year in the sale of Spanish publications:—

“It is splendid to see how the work is developing in the Spanish fields. A few days ago I wrote you that our sales for the first two months of this year amounted to about $17,000. The orders are still coming in, and we estimate that by the close of this month the sales will reach $30,000. For example, we have just received orders for Spanish books as follows:—

Peru: 500 “Home and Health,” 500 “Coming King.”

Santo Domingo: 100 “Home and Health,” 150 “Coming King.”

Cuba: 240 “Home and Health,” 125 “Coming King.”

Cristobal: 300 “Coming King,” 83 “Christ Our Saviour.”

The rapid growth of the subscription-book work in our Spanish-American fields is emphasized by comparing the shipments during the first three months of this year with the sales during the two preceding years.

In 1908 the sales for the full year amounted to $11,076.15; for 1909, $24,336.05; for the first three months of 1910, approximately $30,000.

Such figures need little comment. They represent faithful work in these mission fields, and the rich blessing of the Lord, without which nothing could be accomplished.
