Introduction
Tate Publishing of Mustang, Oklahoma, is one of the largest booksellers in the nation. The company was founded 12 years ago by the Tate family to create a Christian-based, family- wned, mainline publishing organization with a mission to discover and market unknown authors and provide them with the highest quality books and royalties. It has grown into a multi-million-dollar publisher that prints paperback books on Xerox equipment; the printing facility operates three shifts, 24 hours a day, seven days a week, producing tens of thousands of books per month.
