Our environmental efforts go back two decades: Best wishes, Christian Schneider We use 100 % renewable energy sources in our plants, we operate our own solar power best brand Schneider 3 Schneider Attracts Attention We employ a range of measures to support the presence of our brand. We frequently make use of direct opportunities, such as promotional campaigns or trade fairs, where people can try out our writing instruments and see their quality for themselves. We also conduct campaigns to reinforce our image as an ecologically and socially committed organisation. At the Paperworld – in reality and virtually Trade fairs represent the classic opportunity for communication through encounter. At the Paper- world in Frankfurt, the biggest leading fair in the world for our sector, we always have an impressive and highly visible stand. Our established design ensures both a high level of recognition and brand presence. We most recently devoted a special area at the entrance to our stand to the theme of sustainability and invited visitors to take part in a virtual tour of the company. Wearing VR goggles, they were able to move around the Schneider world and see many interesting places along the way. In addition, anyone discovering the hashtags that had been hidden throughout the tour had a chance to take part in an attractive competition. And a sweet surprise from the Black Forest awaited everyone who took part. Let us entertain YOU … The YOU summer festival in Berlin – with its varied programme and many stars and influencers for young people – proved a great attraction, drawing a total of 42,000 visitors. Our stand with its many activities plus surf simulator, competition and interactive ‘fotobox’ attracted considerable attention in this inspiring environment. Images from the Schneider foto- box were shared extensively, adding consider- able impetus to our brand in the social media channels. 4 Schneider Run on the Schneider-Run The Schneider-Run was held for the fourth time in July of last year. Once again, the event proved to be a great attraction for runners and spectators alike, with a total of 550 participants making their way to the starting line. This number included many youngsters, resulting in an overall age range of 2 to 70 years. In addition to the run, Schneider also once again brought along its popular surf simulator, not to men- tion a bungee run and a bouncy castle for the young- est visitors. The revenues from the entrance fees are traditionally donated to a charitable organisation; this year, it was the Katharinenhöhe rehabilitation clinic. Schneider on tour at full power Last year we also mingled directly among users of our writing instruments – after all, the best public- ity for our products is the writing experience itself. We visited a number of German universities with our Link-It series, and the students there were very impressed with our combinable pen systems. Each of them was able to choose two Link-Its of their choice and assemble their own personal favourite pen. (Images, top row) We also put on a series of broad- based retail activities, designed to bring our writing instruments closer to the people. We maintained a similar level of activity in France, where we attended the country’s biggest student festival, the Delta in Marseille. We also visited twelve universities and start-up hubs while we were there. Our »The Wall« installation (images below) served as a fitting eye catcher that also motivated visitors to try out the products for themselves. As just a few examples of our many activities: We conducted a high-visibility campaign in Poland for our One rollerball, which in addition to the media presence, featured another special aspect: Visitors had a chance to send in their writing samples to be assessed by a graphologist and assigned to certain personality types. We also had a campaign with the motto of »Draw your Freedom!« which took place at the »Lucca Festival« in Italy, the biggest comic event in Europe. Schneider 5 We Care: Our Environmental Involve- ment at a Glance For more than twenty years, we have been gradually improving the environmental compatibility of our products and work processes. Close to our heart The various measures and developments that are aimed not only at protecting the environment and maintaining sustainable production but also acting with responsibility for society can be summed up in two words: »We Care«. This extends from providing e-bikes for employees and operating our own pho- tovoltaic power system to our intelligent refilling systems and the use of recycled paper in our packaging materials. All of this stems from our conviction that it is our job to do all we can to preserve the planet on which we live. This is not just a matter of the head but also, and above all, a matter of the heart. The Black Forest and the Harz – dedicated to our homeland »Where others spend their holiday is our workplace« – we are very aware that our production facilities are located in the Black Forest and the Harz, two of Germany’s most beautiful natural landscapes, and this makes us all the more sensitive to the need for sustainable activity and environmental protection.

  • Handwriting Today . . . and a Stolen American Relic
    Reviews Handwriting Today... and A Stolen American Relic WILLIAM BUTTS FLOREY, Kitty Burns. Script and Scribble: The Rise and Fall of Handwriting. Brooklyn: Melville House Publishing, 2009. 8vo. Hardbound, dust jacket. 190pp. Illustrations. $22.95. HOWARD, David. Lost Rights: The Misadventures of a Stolen Ameri- can Relic. Boston: Houghton Mifflin Harcourt, 2010. Small 4to. Hardbound, dust jacket. 344pp. $26.00. If you’re anything like me, handling handwriting from many eras on a daily basis, you get sick and tired of the endless refrain from the general public when viewing old documents: “People all had such beautiful handwriting back then!” or, conversely, “No one writes like that today!” Et cetera—ad nauseum. I’ve almost given up refuting these gross generalizations, but “in the old days” I’d pull out letters from, say, Horace Greeley, the Duke of Wellington, a Civil War soldier and other notori- ously illegible scribblers to prove that every age has its share of beautiful penmanship, horrid penmanship and mediocre pen- manship. And as for modern penmanship, most of the examples of current penmanship I see are in the form of personal checks MANUSCRIPTS, VOL. 62 235 NO. 3, SUMMER 2010 236 MANUSCRIPTS (thankfully), and there too I find a mix of beautiful, horrid and mediocre penmanship. The more things change, the more they you-know-what. Which is one beef I have with Kitty Burns Florey in her oth- erwise enjoyable Script and Scribble: The Rise and Fall of Handwrit- ing. Other than the uninitiated general public cited above, the other group that unfairly bemoans current penmanship are the handwriting snobs (which I don’t consider Florey)—elit- ists whose devotion to pseudo-Palmerian calligraphy or other esoteric specialties blinds them to the simple, honest, unsophis- ticated attractiveness of the day-to-day script of ordinary persons who’ve never studied calligraphy.

  • The History of the Ballpoint Pen
    89 | Ezra’s Archives My Utilitarian Chinese Memento: The History of the Ballpoint Pen Robert Schur Made in China For all intents and purposes, my three-week sojourn through China should have given me an appreciation for the Chinese people and their culture, a more thorough understanding of life under a Communist regime, and perhaps some knowledge of handy Chinese phrases. Indeed, I left the country with all of those things, but I also found myself fascinated with the most mundane of souvenirs: the ballpoint pen, particularly the one that I acquired while studying at Zhejiang University in Hangzhou, China, during a trip with fifty other Cornell students sponsored by Cornell University and the Chinese government. When we arrived for our orientation, we found each place set with an array of official University and government forms. Next to these stacks of paper rested green triangular ballpoint pens filled with blue ink, sporting retractable points, each emblazoned with the university’s name, phone number and website. Considering my at-best-rudimentary Chinese language skills, this pen proved quite handy, as I would have been at a loss to ask a hotel clerk or cashier to borrow one. Beyond this small bit of good fortune, I thought little of the pen as I carried it in my pocket throughout the trip until I was making notes on a lecture by one Dr. Wu Xiaobo about the Chinese economy. As he detailed the various aspects of China’s post-Mao era economic reforms, he informed us that 80 percent of all of the world’s pens are made in China, and 70 percent of The History of the Ballpoint Pen | 90 worldwide pen components are made in a particular district, the name of which my sloppy handwriting ironically rendered unintelligible.1 While the veracity of Chinese economic statistics has been hotly contested recently, and reliable data on Chinese ballpoint pen manufacturing data is all but nonexistent, Wu’s remarks nonetheless made me reconsider the oft-overlooked history of the pen that I held in my hands, just one of the billions of ballpoints across the world.
