CO LLf G£ UIOOD PRODOCTS E. S. Kyle The College Wood Products was organ- ized for the purpose of giving students an opportunity to earn part of their ex- penses while attend- ing college. At pres- ent this purpose is being fulfilled to the extent of providing employment for 85 students with a bi- weekly payroll aver- aging $1500. During 1945 Christian edu- cation for these young men and wo- men was paid for in the amount of $38,179.23, while they were also learning the essentials of furniture manufactur- ing. Under the supervision of E. S. Kyle and his staff of de- partment foremen this student labor has been sufficiently profitable to enable the College Wood Products to con- tribute considerable financial assista.ice to the college building program. The s hop is now manufacturing four different articles — desks, small kitchen tables, and two sizes of chests of drawers. Total sales for the year 1945 amounted to ap- proximately $345,000. The total of $105,000 for the first quarter of 1946 indicates an upward trend. Recently a modern shipping dock and a storage room ware built, and new machines are being installed to in- crease efficiency in production. Now that regulations are somewhat less stringent, and more and better materials are becoming available, we expect to double production and be able to provide as much student employment as the increasing college enrollment requires.

COLLf Gf PRtSS The Emmanuel Missionary College Press is, at tha present time, presumably the largest college press in the denomination, sales being the standard. The nevr building is the most modern in southwestern Michigan according to the word of those who travel among them. Modern both as to structure and equipment its machinery includes three linotypes, two folders, one of which is automatic, and a Seybold cutter. Three of its six preses are automatic cylinder units. Plans are being laid for enlarging of the structure itself by the addition of a spacious two-story store room, and also for making needed replacements in equipment on a long-range scale. In addition to the voluminous commercial job work which the Press turns out, it prints eleven periodicals, six of which have national circulation. Denominational pe- riodicals printed here include the Student Movement, the Lake Union Herald, and the College Church Bulletin. Providing employment for 38 student workers in ad- dition to its 16 full-time men, the Press helps to make pos- sible a Christian education for a large number of stu- dents who might otherwise be deprived of this privilege.
