The JiF (more precisely the "Jif - Société Anonyme") was founded by Jules Isidore Fagard in 1926[1] 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, is earlier and dates back to 1915 (the year we will consider as the beginning of the activities), when he, on January 7, founded "Fagard et Leuba" at 22 rue Saint Augustin in Paris, a representative of Waterman and of “Walker & C.” (a London firm that manufactured flip books).
