JiF was founded by Jules Fagard in 1926[1] as semi-independent branch of the Waterman in France, but Fagard's relationship with Waterman can be dated to at least 1921, as evidenced by this advertisement. In reality, 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.
Nel 1937[2] l'azienda mette in commercio, per conto della Waterman una variante della Waterman 32 con caricamento a cartuccia, dando inizio ad uno sviluppo tecnologico che porterà diversi anni più tardi alla creazione della Waterman CF.
To be finished.
