would not be possible without the
more than 150 men and women
who work in various offices scat–
tered around the world. These are
the people who have helped make
the various international editions
of
The Plain Truth
a reality.
Now In Slx Languages
Let's start with Europe. Far from
being confined to Central Europe's
more than 100 mi Ilion German–
speaking peoples, the German
Plain Truth - Kiar
&
Wahr–
finds its way into 108 countries and
associated states.
Klar
&
Wahr
is
the second oldest Janguage edition
of
The Plain Truth
family and
plays an important part in reaching
the economic hear tland of Europe.
The French-language edition has
enabled
The Plain Truth
to get
into the hands of Frenchmen and
those who live in such linguistically
diverse areas as Belgium, Canada,
French Africa and Switzerland. In
fact,
La Pure Vérité
is distributed
in 149 countries and associated
states.

door to the fourth largest language
group in the world. Many, sorne–
times trying, obstacles have had to
be overcome, especially the numer–
ous differing postal systems. The
Spanish-language
Plain Truth
has
steadily grown in scope (it is now
the second largest language edi–
tion).

ing world, including the country
that has the fifth largest Spanish–
speakjng population in the world:
the United States.
Though there are only 20 million
Dutch-speaking peoples,
De Echte
Waarheid
has enabled the message
of
The Plain Truth
to reach people
in more than 60 different nations
and associated states. And recently,
after an aggressive ad campajgn,
our Dutch office in Utrecht has
experienced a considerable increase
in the Dutch subscription list.
The newest language added to
The Plain Truth
fami ly is Italian.
lntroduced in July of 1982,
La
Pura Verira
has been an amazing
success story. The response thus far
has been excellent. Projections sug–
