Parker Pen Company was founded in 1888 in Janesville with an aim to reduce the ink wastage and leakage. The founder George Safford Parker worked as a Salesperson in a pen company and saw the discontent among the pen collectors about the leakage of ink in fountain pens. After starting Parker’s company, the main focus was to create a mechanism that could solve the leakage in fountain pens. George was successful in creating the “Lucky Curve” ink feed system that drained the unused ink back into the pen reservoir through capillary action. In 1919 after the World War, it was time to mix business with family as the son of George, Kenneth joined the company after his brother Russel who joined in 1914. In 1924, the company crossed the Atlantic and opened a store in London and spread all over the continent in a matter of time.
