This is a Wahl Eversharp Quiz. I will post the quiz in 2 Posts of 5 Questions each a few days apart. If a contestant gets all 10 questions right they will be eligible to win a nice Wahl Eversharp Pen from your moderator. Please send me your answers via PM and then post a message here in this thread stating that your quiz answers were submitted via PM. Lets go ahead and send in your answers for the first five questions now.

1) What product did The Wahl Company Produce first and which created the wealth used by them to enter the writing instrument business?

2) What writing instrument product line did The Wahl Company get into first?

3) In What city was The Wahl Company headquartered?

4)) What year did The Wahl Company get into the Fountain Pen Business?

5) What Company did The Wahl Company acquire to get into the Fountain Pen Businsess?

Tie-breaker/extra credit: What is the name of the man from whom the Wahl Company bought their way into writing instruments and who was also reputed to have been responsible for steering The Wahl Company into the fountain pen business?


The end time for this phase of the contest will be Saturday January 13th.


Hope you have some fun with this. The questio9ns will get a little tougher next time.

Hi Sid,
Did you want us to post the answers here (presumably after you've given us the second set of questions)....or did you want the answers sent to you via PM?

If the latter (send via PM), did you want part 1's answers now...... or parts 1 and 2's answers sent all together in one PM?

Thanks!

Good question!

Thanks for pointing this out. Obviously as you already know if someone posts their answers here, then everyone else will see them and the beauty contest would be over before it began. So, please send me your answers via PM and then post a message here in this thread stating that your quiz answers were submitted via PM. I will amend the original post too. Since you will be sending your answers in this way go ahead and answer the first 5 questions starting now.

I think that will work.

Thanks

Syd
