If These Are Your Customers, You Should Give Them Tally Books

Pipe tally books aren’t just for the drilling industry. They are used by many other people to record readings and data in the field. They are small enough for a pocket, and water resistant. Tally Books with your company logo are a great way to “woo” your customers, if they are on this list:

  • Oilfield workers and inspectors

    tallybook-in-the-field
    tallybook-in-the-field
  • Gas well workers and inspectors
  • Engineers
  • Survey companies
  • Electric power companies
  • Contractors
  • Geologists
  • Railroad workers
  • Environmentalists
  • Botanists
  • Zoologists
  • Biologists
  • News reporters
  • Truckers

Your corporate logo can be put on the front and back cover, even in full color. The new optional “stone pads” look like paper, but they are water resistant, and cannot be torn. If your customers use your tally books, they will look at your logo many times a day. That’s the best way to target your market advertising. They are also made in the USA.

A Short History of Maglite Flashlights

Where did the term “Maglite®” come from?

  1. magnetic?
  2. magnificent?
  3. Maglica?

If you guessed number 3, you are right.

Maglite Flashlights were invented in 1979 by Anthony Maglica in California, USA. Here is a brief timeline of Anthony and Maglite®.

Mr. Maglica was born in NYC during the depression, but raised in Croatia, his mother’s country of origin.

Anthony Maglica

1955 Machine Shop. In 1950 Anthony returned to the United States to find his American dream. He started a small machine shop. He made precision parts for the government and industry.

1979 Police Flashlights. The first Maglite® was made. It soon became famous among policemen across the country. It was known for its dependability and durability.

Mini Maglite® in 1984. The smaller version of the original flashlight was released just 5 years later. It uses two AA batteries, and is still extremely popular today.

AAA Mini Maglite® in 1987. A still smaller version, using two AAA batteries came out 3 years later.
