The rotary offset presses, each of which could print 32,000 magazines per hour, were donated by the brothers in the United States. Harry Johnson, of the Brooklyn Bethel family, supervised the installation. First came simultaneous publication. Shortly afterward, the printing was being done in four colors and on better-quality paper. The results were excellent! Never before had so many subscriptions for the magazines been received in one month—50,000 in June 1987. The number of subscriptions increased steadily, reaching a peak of 87,238 in April 1994. Each month, we now print an average of 3,500,000 magazines in Portuguese and in Spanish.
