How did it all begin? You might say it’s in
our blood. There are several creative types in our family and everyone
expresses themselves in different ways. Art, music, writing…
We wanted to harness this energy and formed a
publishing company in 2000 called “Publishing from the Heart” because this
is our passion and we really do publish “from the heart”! In 2006, we knew
it was time to rebrand ourselves. We had decided to refocus the company. We still wanted to maintain the same principles and ideas from
the original company, so we put on our thinking caps. Well, it soon became
clear – as we thought about our family origins and the family focus of our
company.
In 1971,
our Dad retired early due to physical limitations. He had worked 12 hours a
day so retirement didn’t come easy. He needed to do something
constructive, interesting, and income producing. He told our Mom he didn’t
have anything he could do…but Mom, being who she is, said, “You don’t know
what you can do until you try!” Dad bought a printing press and supplied the
local community with always needed printed napkins, match books, and business
cards (remember, this was 1971 before personal computers were in every
household). What did he call his company? LeRue Enterprises. “Le” for
Leonard and “Rue” for Mom, Ruby. Our problem was solved; we had a new
company name “LeRue Press, LLC”, directly from the family.
Always...Publishing from the heart!
