332 in Onandaga County, N.Y. Look down into Florida, and Capper's
has 429 subscribers in Polk County; 343 in Duval, and 285 in
Escambia County. Let's look at Texas--2,388 subscribers in Bexar
County out of a total of 2,772 farms in the county; 642 subscribers
in Upshur County, where our big tabernacle is located, out of a
total of 1,893 farms existing in the county; 1,570 subscribers out
of a total of 2,466 farms in Wharton County. And so it goes--all
over the entire United States.
Total circulation of Capper's Farmer, 1,500,000--almost
FOUR TIMES that of Prairie Farmer, which confines its circulation
to Illinois, Indiana, southern Wisconsin and south-western
Michigan. In Capper's we reach a goodly portion of the farmers of
the WHOLE UNITED STATES!
There are other advantages in this switch to Capper's
Farmer. It comes out only once a month, whereas Prairie Farmer
issues twice a month--and so we are able to have the bigger portion
of TWO PAGES in Capper's, every issue, for only about 20% more cost
than we paid for the one page every issue before. We reach about
four times as many people over the entire United States, instead of
reaching two states and portions of two others, only.
I think you'll agree this is a BIG LEAP AHEAD for the work!
But that is not all! We are now going on a radio station
about the middle of the west coast of Africa, and one in Central
America--added to all the other radio stations carrying The WORLD
TOMORROW around the world!
Now here is another BIG LEAP AHEAD! About a year ago the
Las Vegas interests, who made the original purchase of Ambassador
Hall for the college, purchased to donate to Ambassador College a
two-story building adjoining the college campus, on the north-west
corner of Camden and Vernon. Again, as negotiations dragged out
they were unable to raise all the money to make this donation, and
we were forced to pay the difference--but the property was acquired
very cheaply. It had been built not more than five or six years
ago to house a furniture store, and consisted of just two very
large rooms, one on each floor. We have just completed remodeling
this building, partitioning it off into offices. We had entirely
outgrown our office space.
Over this past week-end, many of the offices of this work
have moved into their new quarters in this building. Our new
mailing office has about four times the space now that we had
before. The new printing department also has about four times
its former space. Two new Miehle presses have been added, in
addition to retaining one of the two smaller presses used up to
now. This increases our printing capacity about four times over.
We can now print more booklets.
On the second floor of this building we now have the
Ambassador College Correspondence Course mailing office; the Letter
Answering Department, where four men and about twelve typists are
kept busy answering letters for me, under my personal direction
assisted by Mrs. Armstrong. One of our biggest problems has been
