Guenther Wagner, who are better know in the Far East under the name of the "Pelican Works," are celebrating this year their 100th anniversary, having been established in 1838. They started with the manufacture of artists' and students' colours, later taking up drawing inks, inks and office supplies. The concern has grown rapidly, so that branch factories are now in all the important countries of Europe as Well as over-seas.
The irade mark "Pelican" the picture of a pelican in a nest feeding four young ones, is nowadays world-renowned for high-class office supplies Such as stencils, carbon paper, type-Writer ribbons, sealing wax, inks, Tubber erasers, stamp pads, etc, as well as artists' materials.—The fountain pen and refill pencil have, on account of their outstanding quality, created a worldwide reputation for themselves. Also in the duplicating line the "Pelican" Works are in the forefront with their "Rotafix" two-drum duplicator automatic inking being an outstanding feature in this line.
