The origin of Parker pens is the Parker Company in the United States. The founder of Parker pens, George Parker, was born in 1863 in Shullsburg, Wisconsin, USA. Since 1880, George Parker worked at Valentine School. To supplement his meager salary, George Parker became a middleman, mainly selling John Holland's pen company's pens to his students. Like many pens at the time, these pens always had technical problems, including ink leakage and ink supply failures. After receiving many complaints from classmates, George Parker began to repair pens for students free of charge. He disassembled each pen, repaired it, and then returned it to the student. George Parker, in order to eliminate these defects, relied on his experience in mechanics to design and manufacture his own pen - the Parker pen. And founded the Parker Company in 1888. George Parker believed that "only by making products better can people buy them." This business philosophy has always guided the Parker Company in its efforts to make "better pens." This is also the profound cultural connotation accumulated over a hundred years in Parker pens. As the leader of high-quality writing tools worldwide, Parker pens have accompanied many major events around the world, witnessing history and spreading civilization. Conan Doyle used Parker pens to create Sherlock Holmes, billionaire Henry used Parker pens to sign the contract to purchase the Empire State Building, and U.S. President Nixon gave Parker pens as gifts during his historic visit to China... From General MacArthur, the recipient of Japan's surrender during World War II, to Bush and Yeltsin signing the nuclear disarmament treaty between the US and Russia, all of them wrote down a significant page in history with Parker pens. A long history has forged the brilliance of Parker pens.
