OUR NEW YORK OFFICE.

By Editor

For some time past the Directors of the PACIFIC PRESS PUBLISHING COMPANY have had in contemplation the establishment of a branch office and depository at some central point in the Eastern States. As our work increased and we undertook the publication of subscription books it seemed absolutely necessary to have something of this kind; accordingly, at the last meeting of the stockholders, held in Oakland, Cal., April 23, 1888, the following resolution was unanimously adopted:—

Resolved, That we approve the proposition of the Board to establish a branch office in New York City, and the stationing of an agent there to purchase material, keep a stock of our publications, and work up a wider sale of our subscription books in the Eastern States.

In accordance with the above resolution, rooms have been secured at No. 43 Bond Street, New York City, where a full line of all our subscription books will be carried in stock, thus enabling us to fill orders from the Eastern, Middle, or Southern States on short notice. Probably no other city in the Union has the facilities for shipping to all parts of this country, and the world, that New York has, and we know that the opening of this office will be hailed with joy by all our brethren and sisters.

Orders for trade books, pamphlets, tracts, and periodicals should be sent direct to Pacific Press Publishing Co., Oakland, Cal., as heretofore. Also, whenever there is time, we would prefer to have you order subscription books of the office at Oakland, as it will then save making two shipments.

A supply of the revised and enlarged 700-page edition of the "Great Controversy" will be in stock at the New York Office by December 1, in time for the holiday deliveries.

Brother T. A. Kilgore, who has been connected with our office at Oakland, Cal., for several years, will take charge of this branch office, and orders intrusted to him will receive the same care and attention as though sent to the main office.

We desire to take this opportunity to express our sincere gratitude to our friends for their hearty co-operation in the past, which has enabled us to make this move, and we trust that we shall still have their support. We do not enter into this enterprise as a money-making scheme, but because we feel that the interests of the cause of God demand it, and we trust that under the blessing of God it may prove successful.

If, in the establishment of this office, we can assist our societies in any way outside of the regular book business, we shall be glad to do so.

A separate account will be kept at the New York office with each State society, and statements rendered monthly from both offices. For books ordered of the New York office, remittance should be sent direct to that office. The monthly statements will show just how your account stands with the offices.

All communications to the New York office should be addressed to PACIFIC PRESS PUBLISHING COMPANY, No. 43 BOND STREET, NEW YORK CITY, N. Y.
