South American Spanish Publishing House

The South American Spanish Publishing House (Asociación Casa Editora Sudamericana, or ACES) publishes books, magazines, and other material for the Seventh-day Adventist Church in Argentina. Although it is an institution directly linked to the South American Division, it operates in the missionary territory of Argentina Union Conference, at 4555 General José de San Martín Avenue, zip code: B1604CDG, in the city of Florida Oeste, Vicente López district, province of Buenos Aires, Argentine Republic.

ACES is responsible for providing publications and graphic materials to all Hispanic countries in the South American Division (Argentina, Bolivia, Chile, Ecuador, Paraguay, Peru, and Uruguay). It also serves countries in other mission fields that make use of physical or digital denominational materials in Spanish. Some of those countries are Spain, the United States, and Mexico.¹

To fulfill that purpose, ACES has a team made up of 175 employees, among whom are six workers with ministerial credentials, one with a ministerial license, and one pastor with a missionary license. There are 42 editors linked to the institution. ACES serves two affiliated publishers: ACES Chile, headquartered at 1308 Santa Elena, Santiago de Chile; and ACES Peru, located at Central Highway Km 19.5, Lurigancho-Chosica, in the city of Lima, Peru.²

Developments that Led to the Establishment of the South American Spanish Publishing House

Adventist preaching began in Argentina in the late 19th century. In the mid-1880s, some Italian and French families, residents of Santa Fe province, gained access to Adventist publications. Thus, followers of Adventism arose, but they had no contact with the organized Church. The first organized Adventist church to emerge in Argentina, which was also the first in South America, was formed through the work of Jorge Riffel and Pastor Frank H. Westphal among Russian-German immigrants in the city of Crespo, province of Entre Ríos.³

The first canvassers⁴ to work in Argentine territory were E. W. Snyder, A. B. Stauffer, and C. A. Nowlen, who went from the United States to Argentina in 1891. Two years later, R. B. Craig joined them to work there as publications director.⁵ The first canvassers spread literature in German, French, and English only, so the Spanish-speaking Adventist believers lacked published Church literature in their mother tongue.⁶

There was concern about the need to produce publications in Spanish. In October 1896 the foreign mission department of the General Conference authorized the publication of an eight-page missionary periodical and a hymnal in Argentina.⁷ In a meeting in Buenos Aires the following year, Frank H. Westphal, John McCarthy, and Jean Vuilleumier, decided to publish a monthly journal in that country. In July 1897 a 12-page pamphlet called El Faro (The Lighthouse) was released, which was the first monthly periodical in Spanish published in South America.⁸ Those first periodicals were printed by commercial publishers.⁹ During this period of organization, Nelson Z. Town was in charge of the publishing society and the treasury in Buenos Aires, Argentina.¹⁰

Meanwhile, in Chile, encouraged by Eduardo W. Thomann, Pastor G. H. Baber, superintendent of the Misión de la Costa Occidental (West Coast Mission), now known as Asociación Metropolitana de Chile (Metropolitan Chile Conference), authorized the launching of the missionary journal Las Señales de los Tiempos (The Signs of the Times), now called Vida Feliz (Happy Life). This journal was published for the first time in January 1900, in the city of Valparaíso, and Eduardo W. Thomann was its author, editor, translator, designer, and printer.¹¹

In July 1900 the SDA Church in Chile purchased a manual press and the printing office adopted the name El Pacífico (The Pacific), which remained until May 1902, when it was changed to Imprenta Adventista (Adventist Press). Also, in 1902, La Revista Adventista (ARH) was published for the first time in Chile. In 1903 the Adventist Press moved to Iquique and, in 1904, it returned to Valparaíso. In January 1905 the printing office caught fire and, as a result, it was reorganized under the name Imprenta del Pacífico (Pacific Publishing House) and was moved to a new location with new equipment. Thus, the first publications in Spanish were printed in two countries—Argentina and Chile—where ACES has its roots.¹²

Foundation of the South American Spanish Publishing House

Beginning in 1902 the idea of having an Adventist printing office in Argentina was a topic considered by the North American missionaries, Nelson Z. Town and Joseph W. Westphal. These men were the presidents of River Plate Conference, now known as Central Argentina Conference, and of South American Union Mission, now known as Argentina Union Conference, respectively. However, they had to postpone their plans due to lack of financial resources.¹³ About two years later, on March 17, 1904, at a meeting of the South American Union Mission held in the department of San Jerónimo, Santa Fe, the delegates voted in favor of organizing an Adventist printing office in Argentina, and on that day a campaign was started to obtain the necessary resources.¹⁴

The first directors of the publishing house were Nelson Z. Town, Joseph W. Westphal, and Robert H. Habenicht. The location chosen for the institution was the recently established Diamante School, now River Plate Adventist University, in Colonia Camarero, department of Diamante, province of Entre Ríos. The decision to locate the printing office and the school in the same place may have been because most of the Adventists in the country were concentrated in the Camarero Colony where Adventism had begun in Argentina.¹⁵

The publishing house met the need for printed materials in Spanish, and biblical, theological, and educational tools were produced which could be used to spread the Adventist message.¹⁶ The project began in 1905, when, with the donations obtained (approximately US$1,000), Joseph W. Westphal purchased a small cylinder press,¹⁷ as well as vintage type, a stapling machine, a guillotine, paper, and ink. All this equipment was placed in a sector of the warehouse of Diamante School, in a small room measuring 12 x 14 feet (approximately 16 square meters). Although initially the printing office did not have an official name, it was called Imprenta La Verdad Presente (Buenos Aires Publishing House) until 1906.¹⁸ This name was commonly used, probably because the magazine El Faro (The Lighthouse) was printed there under the name La Verdad Presente (Present Truth).¹⁹

History of South American Spanish Publishing House

In 1906, La Revista Adventista was printed for the first time in Argentina and Otto Heyde took over as the printer for the publishing house. He worked with Adela Allen Habenicht, who had previously worked at the Review and Herald Publishing Association in the United States. Adela was in charge of teaching the art of printing to Pastor J. W. Westphal and the students from Diamante School who worked in the printing office as part of the school’s educational program. Later, Juan Bonjour joined them.²⁰

In May 1906 the publishing house was transferred to the city of Florida, Buenos Aires, and was established on a property with two buildings that belonged to the missionary Ole Oppegard. The property was located on the corner of Valentín Vergara and Esteban Echeverría Streets and was purchased for approximately US$1,100. The land had a total area of 668 square meters, with one of the buildings measuring 130 square meters, and the other, 450 square meters. The first building served as a warehouse, and the second housed the machines for work.²¹ The publishing house was now called Casa Editora Buenos Ayres (Buenos Aires Publishing House) until 1908, when it was given the name Imprenta Adventista del Plata (in English, it continued to be called Bueno Aires Publishing House).²²

Over time the publishing house began producing other materials in addition to missionary magazines. Small books and tracts were printed, such as Las señales de nuestros tiempos (The Signs of Our Times), by J. Q. A. Haughey, and Los sufrimientos de Cristo (The Sufferings of Christ), by Ellen G. White. In December 1910 the printing office published its first book in Spanish, which was El don de profecía en la iglesia evangélica (The Gift of Prophecy in the Evangelical Church), by John Loughborough, with just over 100 pages.²³ In this way the Spanish-speaking members of the South American Division began to receive the publications they needed. Since those days the mission of the printing press has been “to produce books, magazines, and other materials for the spiritual development of the church and the spread of the everlasting gospel,” in order to contribute to the dissemination of the “Adventist message, [...] through publications faithful to God and His Word.”²⁴

In 1910 the publishing house acquired a three-horsepower gasoline motor press. As a result, productivity increased and more evangelistic magazines were printed. The press staff intended to draw different social classes to Christ. The first leaders always sought to update and contextualize the themes of the magazines to the needs of the population. Thus, in the same year, a new monthly journal of 32 pages with health topics was launched, titled La Salud y Vida (Health and Life).²⁵

The General Conference Committee recommended that the magazines La Verdad Presente (Present Truth), from Argentina, and Las señales de los tiempos (The Signs of the Times), from Chile, be merged into one. This happened in 1911 when the printing house in Chile closed. The new journal, formed by the merger of the two, was called Las Señales de los Tiempos (The Signs of the Times). A first edition of 1,800 was printed and it was published for a year.²⁶ The following year, in 1912, the name was changed to El Atalaya (The Watchman), but the goal remained evangelistic.²⁷ Also in 1912, Imprenta Adventista del Plata (Buenos Aires Publishing House) was renamed Casa Editora Unión Sudamericana (in English, it remained Buenos Aires Publishing House), because since its establishment, this institution had belonged to the South American Union Mission. In 1915 a new evangelistic journal was created called El Centinela (The Sentinel).²⁸

In 1916 all the institutions of the South American Union Mission were restructured. On February 6, 1916, the South American Division was organized and the Austral Union Conference, now known as Argentina Union Conference, was established. As a result, the publishing house came under the management of the Austral Union Conference, which was responsible for the Adventist work in Argentina, Chile, Paraguay, and Uruguay, succeeding the South American Union Mission. At that time the Austral Union Conference established its administrative headquarters on the property where the publishing house was located, on the corner of Valentín Vergara and Esteban Echeverría Streets, in the city of Florida.²⁹

Until 1918 the publishing house officially served only the Austral Union Conference. At that time the publishing leaders saw the opportunity to prepare materials to be distributed to the members of Inca Union Mission, now known as South Peru Union Mission, which promoted Adventist work in Bolivia, Ecuador, and Peru. In this way they contributed to the mission by providing materials for the Church and by expanding the influence of the publishing house.³⁰

In 1919 the publishing house replaced the process of composition by manual typesetting with linotype composition. Linotype is “a typesetting machine, provided with dies, from which the entire line emerges, forming a single piece.”³¹ With this acquisition, the process of making periodicals and magazines became easier and faster, and a smaller number of operators were able to produce many pages daily.³² Also at that time, the Buenos Aires Publishing House began publishing an eight-page journal for young people, which became known as El Monitor de la Juventud (The Youth Monitor).³³

Other organizational changes occurred in 1920 when the publishing house extended its services to Inca Union Mission. Consequently, the South American Division took over its administration and the word “Unión” was deleted from the legal name of the institution. It was renamed “Casa Editora Sudamericana” (in English, it continued to be Buenos Aires Publishing House).³⁴ Another change took place on May 27, 1920, when a three-hectare property was purchased to be the publishing house’s headquarters. With the help of the General Conference Extension Fund, in February 1925, building was begun on the main building and four houses on that property. Shortly thereafter, the headquarters of the publishing house was transferred to 4555 General José de San Martín Avenue, Florida, in Buenos Aires, a few blocks from its previous headquarters and where it is currently located.³⁵

In 1930, five years after its establishment in its new headquarters, it had 40 employees and there were four additional houses on the land.³⁶ In 1935 the publishing house expanded its catalog of journals. After some years of being out of circulation, El Monitor de la Juventud (The Youth Monitor) was published again and was renamed Juventud (Youth), keeping its goal to educate Adventist youth.³⁷ In 1937 the publishing house donated part of its land to the Gránix food factory.³⁸ By 1938, it had 41 employees.³⁹

In 1944 the publishing house donated a portion of its land to Buenos Aires Academy, now Florida Adventist Academy.⁴⁰ After 29 years with the name of “Casa Editora Sudamericana” (Buenos Aires Publishing House) in 1949, the publishing house became known as Asociación Casa Editora Sudamericana (South American Spanish Publishing House), as it is presently called. Two years later the institution received its legal status as Asociación Casa Editora Sudamericana.⁴¹ In 1953 a branch of this institution, ACES Peru, was established in the city of Lima, Peru. Another advance in that decade occurred in 1956 when the magazine Vida Feliz (Happy Life) replaced the missionary journal Señales de los Tiempos” (The Signs of the Times).⁴²

In the 1960s, ACES began a series of expansions. In June 1964, in order to speed up service to other Hispanic countries, ACES received approval from the SAD Committee to establish a branch in Santiago de Chile. “ACES Chile” began its graphic activities the following year with an offset press and other equipment in a building annexed to Santiago Adventist Academy, now called Porvenir Adventist Academy.⁴³ In 1967 four apartment buildings were built at ACES headquarters in Argentina; and another expansion was carried out in 1968 when the offset printing system was incorporated and the photomechanics department was created at the ACES main headquarters. This new system gave the magazines a better appearance and facilitated the dissemination of denominational materials.⁴⁴

In the first half of the next decade, a fire destroyed most of the main building of the publishing house in Argentina. In the early morning of July 23, 1974, the fire, caused by a short circuit, quickly burned all the art and photography archives, as well as historical collections such as the first magazines produced by the printing offices of Argentina and Chile. However, thanks to the quick action of the firefighters, the place where the graphic machines were located was not damaged, which allowed the employees to continue working in the publishing house. Due to the fire, ACES management had to rebuild the offices that had been destroyed.⁴⁵

Four years later, on April 27 and 28, 1978, the South American Spanish Publishing House inaugurated its new administrative offices, newsroom, auditorium, and library buildings, which were built on the same land as the old facilities.⁴⁶ Also that year, the publisher purchased a Linocomp typewriter and introduced photocomposition, which is a “composition system that projects graphic characters onto a photosensitive film.”⁴⁷ ACES also received a German-made offset press.⁴⁸

Beginning in 1978, in order for church members to have easier access to the content published, ACES adopted a new dissemination strategy. The Casa Abierta (Open House) program was inaugurated, in which the publishing house is opened for visitors to get to know the institution and its publications, which are sold at promotional prices on this occasion. ACES also held an exhibition at the International Book Fair in the city of Buenos Aires in 1979. That experience was interesting and was repeated in the following years. The participation of ACES in fairs like that is a clear example of its relevance in among other publishers in the market.⁴⁹

In 1987 a new wing was built for bookbinding, and the editorial and visual programming departments first began to use computers. In 1991 one of the magazine editors of ACES received a Pleiade, which is an award given by the Argentina Association of Magazine Editors. This recognition was given due to an article about abortion, published in the Revista Vida Feliz (Happy Life Review). In 1994 a warehouse for raw materials was inaugurated, basically for paper reels.⁵⁰

In 1996, Ellen White’s book Camino a Cristo (Steps to Christ) was adapted for distribution in the form of a magazine, which was called Paz en la Tormenta (Peace in the Storm). That publication was a blessing for many people, to the point of being reprinted 17 times and reaching a run of three million copies.⁵¹ In 1999 the press area was expanded for the installation of a new five-color flat press. In 2000 an automatic paper reel splicer was coupled to the Web rotary press. The following year, the tren Kolbus (Compaq 2000 model) was expanded for binding hardcover books. The trilateral cutting of books was also automated, and a Müller Martini machine was added to place two types of inserts in books and magazines.

In 2003 a new magazine stitcher and two new MAC-G4 computers, 1.42 DUAL and 1.25 DUAL models, both with dual processors, were acquired. In addition, a Screen brand Computer to Plate, model Plate Rite 8100, was purchased. With this new machinery equipment, ACES was at the same level as other large industries that used modern technology, and as a result of that investment, that year the total sale of publications reached approximately US$4,000,000.⁵²

When the publishing house celebrated its 100th anniversary in 2004, the press and binding areas were re-equipped with the purchase of an eight-color Heidelberg Speedmaster 102-8-P offset printer and an automatic stitcher machine. An underground water reservoir to protect against fires was built and the respective water plumbing system was also installed. That year the total number of ACES employees in Buenos Aires and Santiago was 110. They “published seven periodicals, [and the publisher] had 200 children’s materials and almost 300 book titles.” On the occasion of the centenary, a commemorative book entitled Cien años de Bendiciones (One Hundred Years of Blessings) was published.⁵³

Between 2005 and 2007 a new area for logistics and expedition was built. A folder and a stacker machine were also purchased for the bookbinding sector. A fire detection and alarm system were installed throughout the ACES infrastructure. In 2008 there was an international financial crisis that affected the world. Notwithstanding, the publisher continued to grow, making it possible to purchase new machines that increased the productive capacity of ACES. Between 2008 and 2009, the bookbinding area was re-equipped with the acquisition of a gluing machine and a Solmena conveyor belt machine, as well as a line of hardcover book binding. Furthermore, a flexible cover binder machine and the respective conveyor belts were acquired, besides a trilateral guillotine. Also, a concrete floor for the main room and a silo for storing paper scraps were built.

In 2010 an AGFA brand Computer to Plate, Avalon model, with non-polluting technology, was purchased for the pre-press department. A paper sorting and a book stacker machine and their respective conveyor belts were also purchased, as well as a laminating machine. Between 2011 and 2012, offices were built for the sales, management, and the human resources departments. Between 2013 and 2014, a Mercedes Benz 710 truck, a Kolbus cover assembly machine, a Polar Moht guillotine with accessories, a Müller Martini sheet stacker machine, and book block maker machine were purchased. A Heidelberg printer, a five-color Speedmaster SM 102-S-P, and an MBO B30-E444-R folder machine were also purchased.⁵⁴

All the structures built and the machinery acquired over the years have contributed to the performance of the institutional mission of ACES. These machines have enabled editing, printing, and distributing a wide variety of publications that serve all areas of the Adventist Church, as well as different age groups. Some of the current publications are Revista Adventista (ARH), Conexión 2.0 (Connection 2.0), Mis Amigos (My Friends), Ministerio Adventista” (Adventist Ministry), Revista del Anciano (Elder’s Magazine), Vida Feliz (Happy Life), Acción Joven (Young Action), Revista de AFAM (AFAM’s Magazine) and El Colportor Evangelista (The Literature Evangelist). ACES also produces books for the canvassing work,⁵⁵ health books, Ellen G. White’s books, theology books, Bibles, textbooks for all Spanish-speaking schools in South America, missionary books, Bible study guides, hymnals, and CDs with songs from the hymnal. These materials, directly or indirectly, have positively impacted the lives of thousands of people, both Adventists and non-Adventists.⁵⁶ Through its missionary effort, ACES joins the other publishers of the Seventh-day Adventist Church around the world in fulfilling the mission through the printed page.⁵⁷

Historical Role of the South American Spanish Publishing House

In its almost 120 years of existence, ACES has assisted and served the Church in South America through its publications. Thanks to the work carried out through the publisher, the churches, schools, colleges, clinics, administrative units, and other SAD institutions have benefited from materials printed in the Spanish language. ACES has played an important role since its establishment, publishing the main SDA missionary magazines, such as El Faro (The Lighthouse), La Verdad Presente (Present Truth), later called Señales de los Tiempos (The Signs of the Times), La Revista Adventista (ARH), Vida y Salud (Life and Health), and others.⁵⁸

Among the relevant achievements in recent years, are: (1) modernization and updating of technical equipment for better quality and faster printing; (2) production of millions of books for the Church’s high-impact campaigns; and (3) printing of Bibles. Currently, ACES is the only publisher in Argentina that prints Bibles and cooperates with the United Bible Society. This fact indicates the importance of this institution not only for the Adventist Church, but for society in general.⁵⁹

ACES has contributed, since 2006, to the production of the “missionary book,” which varies each year by subject and author. Through a program called Impacto Esperanza (Hope Impact),⁶⁰ millions of copies of this book are distributed in all the Hispanic countries that are part of the South American Division. Through that distribution, the Church has been able to bless the lives of thousands of people in need of hope.⁶¹ In 2012 and 2013, for example, the book La gran esperanza (The Great Hope), consisting of a selection of chapters from the book El Conflicto de los siglos (The Great Controversy) by Ellen G. White, had a print run of 12,225,670 copies, which were distributed in the seven Spanish-speaking countries of the SAD.⁶²

In 2015, the publishing house created the Portal de Educación Adventista (Adventist Education Website), which is a unique and necessary service for all Adventist academies and colleges in the Hispanic area of South America. In the area of technology, since 2018 the ACES team has tried to improve services through that website in order to facilitate obtaining more information and access to articles from published magazines. In the future it is planned to make the historic archive of La Revista Adventista available on the internet.⁶³

Currently, due to the health crisis caused by the coronavirus (COVID-19), many churches and Christian bookstores (such as the ACES bookstores) were closed for a time as a preventive measure. For this reason, ACES developed a new way of sharing hope with people through virtual platforms. Thus, the mission of preaching the gospel through literature continues to be fulfilled, even in the midst of a pandemic. By these actions, the South American Spanish Publishing House has reached places where canvassers, pastors, or lay volunteers could not reach so easily in the present day.⁶⁴

Outlook

Beyond producing denominational material for the Adventists in South America, ACES has contributed to the spread of the everlasting gospel in Spain, the United States, and Mexico, which shows that its work has transcended borders. This was possible because of God’s blessings, the quality of its service, and the dedication of its collaborators. Currently, the potential costumers of ACES are Spanish-speaking SDA members, as well as non-Adventist consumers. The latter ones are often reached by the canvassing work or by other means of communication—such as Internet, radio and TV, Nuevo Tiempo (Hope Channel)—and distribution that are used by the Church and its members.⁶⁵ As another way to expose Adventist content and evangelize, ACES has participated in the International Book Fair, which is considered one of the most important editorial and cultural landmarks in Latin America.⁶⁶

In remembering the history of ACES, it is evident that many things have changed since 1904 when missionaries of great faith, eager to convey the present truth, began to print Adventist Christian content to reach the Hispanic world. Since then, this material continues to be produced and has been a light for all who have had contact with its content. Since that beginning, the SDA publishing work has grown considerably in South America and, thanks to God’s blessings upon the work of ACES, many people have been converted and many families have been transformed. In conclusion, the history of the South American Spanish Publishing House is proof that every institution and every person who places themselves in God’s hands and trusts in Him, can have the full assurance that every effort they make for God will be multiplied.
