    PACIFIC PRESS PUBLISHING COMPANY

    A Little over a quarter of a century has passed since the organization and incorporation of the Pacific Press Publishing Company, at Oakland, Cal. Wonderful changes have taken place during his period, not the least of which is the growth of the institution itself. From a very small beginning it has come to be recognized as one of the largest, best-equipped, and most complete printing and publishing houses on the Pacific Coast. This is due to the blessing of God, the faithful labors of the employees and the hearty co-operation of the friends of the institution.GCB April 9, 1901, page 165.6

    The grounds owned and occupied by this company cover over one half of the block bounded by 11th and 12th, Brush and Castro Streets, near the business center of the city of Oakland. The buildings aggregate over 50,000 square feet of floor space. The office is divided into various departments, including book and job printing, book binding, electrotyping, stereotyping, photoengraving, etc.GCB April 9, 1901, page 165.7

    Each department is furnished with the best modern, up-to-date, labor-saving machinery, and is capable of doing the very finest grade of work. About 200 persons are employed in the various departments. Over a score of presses are in constant operation, using from two to four tons of paper a day, or nearly two carloads a week.GCB April 9, 1901, page 165.8

    Branch offices have been established at 11 West 20th Street, New York City; 18 West 5th Street, Kansas City, Mo., and 16 Crocker Building, San Francisco, Cal.GCB April 9, 1901, page 165.9

    While we carry on a general publishing business, and do more or less commercial printing, yet during the last few years we have given special attention to our own denominational work with very gratifying results.GCB April 9, 1901, page 165.10

    Our last report to the BULLETIN was made a little over two years ago, so in this report we will notice, briefly, the work of the last two years.GCB April 9, 1901, page 165.11
