Summary/Abstract: „Kompas” operating in the years 1921-1939 was one of the most famous publishers offering religious literature addressed mainly to members of the Baptist Church. In addition to publications on religious topics, the offer also included numerous calendars, paper accessories, and publications commissioned by other social or economic entities. The Kompas publishing house benefited from the support of American members of the Baptist Church as well as local entrepreneurs associated with this denomination in Łódź. In connection with the economic crisis in 1929, the „Kompas” Society was dissolved and the associated printing house focused on performing commissioned work.
