Hubbard Publishing Co., Philadelphia

Alfred H. Hubbard and Frank W. Judd established the Hubbard Brothers in 1868. This firm acted as a subscription publishing house but also was a well known Bible publisher. It printed some early editions of Palmer Cox's books as well as several Mark Twain titles. It was renamed the Hubbard Publishing Company in 1893. Although its main office was in Philadelphia, it had branch offices in many cities across the United States. Note the advertising covers below.

Edgewood most likely was a subsidiary or wholly owned by Hubbard.

Beside its subscription books, bibles, etc., this firm published several series for juveniles:
