Lögberg-Heimskringla has moved its headquartersfrom the Strathmillan

Highway. This new location has many advantages. Not only is it more
accessible, it is larger, brighter and more convenient.

By Hulda Karen Daníelsdóttir
A few months ago, Ray and Barbara
Gislason, who own Keystone Graphics
which does the layout for Lögberg-
Heimskringla, bought the house at 699
Carter. They had the two-storey house
renovated, moved their own operation
into its basement, and rented the main
upper floor to the editor.
This arrangement is ideal. As soon as
articles have been edited, they are taken
downstairs to the typesetter. Then they
are proofread, pasted up and the pages
are ready to be shipped off to the printer.
Having the operation all in one house
saves much time which can be put to

good use. Before, the editor, who is also
the office manager, had to drive for
almost an hour just to get to work; to
Keystone Graphics with edited copy to
be typeset; to the opposite end of the
city to pick up paste-ups and issues
fresh off the press, and so forth and so
on.
Not only does this new arrangement
make life easier for all those involved
with the actual production of the paper,
it also has the potential of involving the
subscribers even more. Since our office
is at such a convenient location, just
south of Corydon and Osbome, the
subscribers may be more inclined to
deliver articles for publication in per-
son, and to enjoy a cup of coffee with
our editor.
Last week the office was the scene of
a lot of hustle and bustle, with people
coming and going. One of our visitors,
a native Icelander who has lived most
of his adult life in California, stayed for
the whole day looking through old is-
sues of L-H, drinking coffee and meet-
ing people.
On the main floor of the house on
Carter, there are three bedrooms, a large
living room and a dining room. L-H has
rented one of the bedrooms to the Ice-
landic National League for its office. In
the future, other Icelandic organiza-
tions may consider moving in or hold-
ing meetings at this location.
Mr. Gislason had the hardwood
floors refinished; Bob Oleson, presi-
dentofthe L-H Board, donated an area
rug for one of the rooms; the old grimy
coffee mugs have been thoroughly
washed and slowly but surely, the place
keeps looking even better.
The office will be closed during most
of the month of August, but our sub-
scribers and friends are welcome to
visit when we reopen.
The editor, Hulda Karen Daníelsdóttir, hard at work.
