Workmen this morning dismantled the “Herald Bookstore” sign in front of the Brethren Missionary Herald Co. building in Winona Lake, Indiana. A “Herald Bookstore” has operated continuously in the building since the building was constructed in 1956 under the direction of Arnold Kriegbaum, who was then the executive editor and general manager of the Brethren Missionary Herald Co.
The company which has been leasing and operating the store for the last five years opted to close it this spring, and the space has been leased to Tree of Life, a bookstore management firm from Marion, Indiana, which is doing extensive renovations to open the store next month as Tree of Life Books/Music/Cafe.
