About Us
For your information...............Anchor Publications had its “genesis” in 1969 as Al & Leah’s Goody Bag, offering a variety of items for profit. Al & Leah Tschopp’s first venture failed due to lack of capital for adequate advertising. Therefore, the California business license was used to offer “Tracts” on a “not for profit” basis. These tracts were reprints of out-of-print, Scripturally sound publications. Thus, the name of “Scriptural Publications” was chosen.
Another similar entity objected so the name was changed by adding “Anchor”; thus “Scriptural Anchor Publications”. Shortly thereafter, yielding to the criticism of too long a name, in the mid-70’s, we became “ANCHOR PUBLICATIONS.” We have moved from Yuba City, California to River Forest, Illinois; to Stockton, Kansas; to Glendale Heights, Illinois; to Hood River, Oregon; to West Point, Nebraska and currently we are in Sioux City, Iowa under the ownership of Mr. & Mrs. Michael Hobbs. Mr. & Mrs. Hobbs are the parents to seven children (2 currently homeschooled, 5 graduated and 2 married) and 3 beautiful grandchildren— Now you know!!!
