The Later Elmshaven Years: 1905-1915 (vol. 6) - Ellen G. White

A portion of the fruit shed, just north of the big barn at Elmshaven, was
partitioned off and the printing equipment moved in. Soon over the door
were seen the words "Elmshaven Press."
From the start, the job printing done by the Elmshaven Press was of
high quality. It was an after-school activity, but the business grew, and
before long the entire first floor of the fruit shed was occupied by the
printing office. Ellen White was pleased with the development, which
became the means of meeting school expenses for the boys and their sister
Grace. When the twins were ready for college, they sold the business to
nearby Pacific Union College with the understanding that they would
manage the growing enterprise and teach printing. The College Press has
since provided both employment and training to thousands of young people,
some of whom would be distinguished by high editorial and executive
positions.
College finished, both Herbert and Henry were called to mission
service in China, Herbert as superintendent of the Signs Publishing Company
in Shanghai and Henry to school administration farther north.
Another Visit to Loma Linda
In November Ellen White was at Loma Linda for some important
meetings relating to the development of the medical school. She and her
helpers were given pleasant rooms on the third floor of the Sanitarium
building, Sara McEnterfer and Minnie Hawkins occupying the room next to
hers. Ellen White basked, as it were, in feelings of thankfulness to God for
His guiding providences in securing and developing the property.
On November 19, while at Loma Linda, she received from Pacific
Press the first copy of the newly published The Acts of the Apostles. It was a
day of rejoicing. Later in the week she returned to her Elmshaven home.
