National Publishing Company is a historic book publisher in the United States. It was established in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, by Joshua R. Jones.[1] In 1878 the business had a five-storey building constructed for its headquarters at 726 Cherry Street in Philadelphia.[2] The publisher produced bibles, books of maps, encyclopedias and other books. It expanded with offices opening up in Chicago, St. Louis and Australia.[2]
Attorney Charles A. Hawkins was Jones' nephew and helped the Jones family publishing empire expand.[3]
In 1899, John Engwall was appointed President by the board of the National Publishing Company.[4] He was the brother of Victor Theodor Engwall and assisted the company with funding during the late 19th century.
