A New Corporation

By Editor

AT a meeting of the stockholders of the Seventh-day Adventist Publishing Association, held in Battle Creek, Mich., Tuesday, April 28, and reported in the REVIEW of May 5, the following resolution was adopted:—

That the Trustees of this Association, advising with the General Conference Committee of Seventh-day Adventists, be instructed to provide for the establishing of a printing plant in some State in the East, and to create or designate a corporation that shall hold and operate said printing plant, in harmony with the recommendations of the late General Conference concerning the control and ownership of all denominational institutions.

Acting under this resolution, the Trustees, with the counsel of the General Conference Committee, appointed a committee to form such a corporation, with the understanding that it should be located in the same place as the new headquarters of the General Conference. This committee has attended to its duties, and the new corporation has been formed. The corporate name is “Review and Herald Publishing Association.” The constituency of this corporation, which elects the eight trustees for the management of its affairs, is composed of the executive committees of the union conferences in the territory in which it operates; viz., the Atlantic, the Canadian, the Lake, and the Northern Union Conferences. The principal office of the corporation is in the District of Columbia, but the trustees can be elected at any meeting of the constituency legally called in any part of the United States. The first Board of Trustees, elected by the incorporators, is composed of the following persons: W. W. Prescott, S. N. Curtiss, H. W. Cottrell, W. M. Lewis, J. H. Neall, E. R. Palmer, W. B. Walters, W. T. Bland. The following officers have been chosen: W. W. Prescott, President; S. N. Curtiss, Vice-President and Business Manager; W. B. Walters, Secretary.

This Association now publishes the REVIEW AND HERALD, the Youth’s Instructor, and The Sentinel of Christian Liberty, and conducts a general book business, handling the denominational books, tracts, and pamphlets. As soon as it can be legally done, the whole printing and publishing business heretofore carried on in Battle Creek, Mich., will be transferred to this corporation, including all the assets of the Seventh-day Adventist Publishing Association, in harmony with the resolution to that effect adopted by the stockholders of this latter corporation.

To prevent confusion we will explain that although the Michigan corporation is familiarly known as the Review and Herald, yet the corporate name is the Seventh-day Adventist Publishing Association. It was thought advisable to preserve the familiar name in the new corporation, and it has therefore been called the Review and Herald Publishing Association.

The address of this new corporation is 222 North Capitol St., Washington, D. C.
