In November 1908, 25 Bibles were placed in the Superior Hotel in Iron Mountain, Montana, USA.

This was the first Scripture placement carried out by the Gideons, the Association having been formed a few years earlier in July 1899. 2008 marked 100 years of worldwide Gideon Scripture distribution, with over 1.3 billion copies of the precious Word of God placed and presented around the world.
