THE PACIFIC PRESS.

By James White

When we first contemplated establishing a printing press in California we had no idea that in so short a time a publishing house could be erected and completely furnished with printing presses, types, book bindery, and stereotyping apparatus, and all paid for in so short a time, but we are happy to report that this is the case. Every available foot of room in our large printing house is occupied from garret to cellar, besides finishing the lower part of the tank-house and barn for the manufacture of stereotype plates.

The outside book and job department has so increased as to demand a smaller and more rapid cylinder press, for which there is no room in the present buildings; therefore we decided and recommended just before leaving Oakland, that an addition to the present buildings, extending to 12th St., two stories, 60x40 feet, be immediately erected. We have deposited at the Pacific Press the amount necessary to complete the building. This we recently received from the sale of property, and we loan it without interest, and may God bless and prosper this good work. J. W.
