Knud Dyby's father owned a print shop in Randers, Denmark, and both his sons, Knud and Sven, became proficient typographers already as teenagers. Mr. Knud Dyby became Royal Guardsman for the Danish King in 1937 and completed his military service that way. He then started a small business by printing a newsletter for apartment rentals, "Boligmarkedet". However, World War II began and everything changed with the German occupation of Denmark, starting April 9, 1940. Knud Dyby found work as a policeman and was heavily involved in the Danish Resistance movement, helping to transport the Jews to safety in Sweden and helping many other Danes as well. He sent much wartime information to Sweden via boat. After the war, Knud Dyby emigrated to USA, where he took up work as a typographer and also designed products such as Clipmaster and Jazzersize mats.
