The Watch Tower and Herald of Christ's Presence, “(articles in the 1 November 1922 issue, Vol. XLIII No. 21)”
“Since he has been present from 1874, it follows, from the facts as we now see them, that the period from 1874 to 1914 is the day of preparation.”
Same issue also states 'Since 1874 the King of glory has been present; … Since 1914 the King of glory has taken his power and reigns.' The 15 Nov 1922 issue adds: 'According to all the Scriptural evidence, Jesus was due to make his second appearance in 1874.' (The sentence 'Jesus was due to make his second appearance in 1874' is preceded in the OCR by a 1 December 1922 token, so its issue is not confirmed.)
