The story of Zippo Manufacturing Company is the story of its
people, from the founder, George G. Blaisdell, to the many Zippo employees,
customers, and collectors who have played a part in its nearly 75-year history.
Their loyalty to Zippo has made this one of America's great companies.
"I can tell you ofa man who had the vision and the belief that his company could
achieve the success we are celebrating today. His name was George G. Blaisdell.
It is his ingenuity and his love for Zippo, a love that has been passed down
through three generations, that has kept the flame alive."
George Duke,
Zippo Owner and Chairman of the Board
