Abstract

The article focuses on the history of the pencil and the outlook for its demise. A quote from the book "The Pencil," by Henry Petroski, refers to the various components of an American-made pencil. The Koh-I-Nor pencil, which was yellow, was manufactured by L&C Hardmuth Co. in 1890. The Joseph Dixon Company, Faber-Castell company, and the increased production of pencils in Europe in 2001 are mentioned.
