Translations:JiF/2/en

The JiF (more precisely the "Jif - Société Anonyme") was founded by Jules Isidore Fagard in 1926 and is often referred to as a semi-independent subsidiary of Waterman in France, but Fagard's relationship with Waterman, of which he was a representative, can be dated to at least 1921, as evidenced by this advertisement. In fa, at least from what emerges from the advertisements published on L'Illustration, it seems that it was an independent company, able to carry out its own production at least as far as mechanical pencils are concerned, which, even when combined with pens Waterman, were explicitly called with the name Jif.
