| The Parker story begins with a quest as old as humanity itself - communication. Through the ages - as language evolves from spoken to written forms - communication enters a series of unprecedented dimensions, from cave drawings to Gutenberg to e-mail. No longer is it limited to those individual moments in time when words enter human ears. With the writing of words, communication can be distilled and preserved, acquiring a life of its own - and facilitating the concept we call history. The Parker Pen Company, for more than a century the source of writing instruments through which so much modern history has been written, has an interesting history of its own. |
