Sometimes, we post Scripture prints that are not #kembertext but have a similar simple, plain, and clear presentation of the word of God, which #walterkember valued so highly in his work. These six Scripture prints adorn the interior of the Park Street Gospel Hall in Peterborough, Ontario, Canada. They were printed by the Loizeaux Brothers Inc. Bible Truth Depot, 19 West 21st Street, New York, New York, USA. Paul and Timothy Loizeaux began their printing and publishing activities in the farming community of Vinton, Iowa, in 1876 (recall that Mr. Walter Kember was also born and raised a farmer). Their tools were rudimentary: a hand press, several fonts of loose type, ink, and a small supply of paper. The 1878 History of Benton County, Iowa (pages 406-424), “The Press”, states regarding the Bible Truth Depot, “This establishment (at Vinton) is engaged in the printing and distribution of tracts and religious pamphlets, and has been organized two years. A large variety of tracts have been published, and the number is being constantly increased. T. O. Loiseaux has charge of the office work. Paul J. Loiseaux is business manager.” Three years after their founding, the brothers moved Bible Truth Depot to New York City in 1879 and renamed it Loizeaux Brothers’ Publishing House. The company had four successive addresses in New York City, and moved to their fourth address there, 19 West 21st Street, on January 2nd, 1930 where these texts were printed some time between 1930 and 1963. After 84 fruitful years in New York City, the company was moved to Neptune, New Jersey in the spring of 1963. See the last photo in the carousel for an announcement of their move to Neptune.
