Parker Pen CompanyOver A Century of Success 派克制笔公司 一个多世纪的成功 Making a better pen was what the Parker Pen Companys founder, George Safford Parker, set out to do when he couldnt find one that wrote well and didnt leak. Parker believed that if he made a better pen, people would buy it. And so he did. 做好笔，是派克公司创始人George Safford Parker确定的目标，当时他无法买到好写而又不漏水的钢笔，他相信:“如果自己可以做出好笔，就一定有人买”。他做到了这些。 George Safford Parker did not start out a maker of pens.
