Cheap Pencils So fun, so bright...so right for school, home, or office! Our colorful pencils make great gifts, especially when personalized. Pencils. The popular myth that NASA spent millions of dollars on developing a pen that would write in outer space, while the Russian Cosmonauts simply used pencils is not true, but it comes to an interesting assumption, that pencils are indispensable. Cheap pencils have been around since the dawn of time and although we have since had many breakthroughs in the pencil world (mainly mechanical pencils) we still turn to our age old friend, the cheap pencil. Custom personalized pencils are wonderful advertising tools because everyone needs one. They're small and very inexpensive and any business could benefit from using them to advertise their business name or logo. They are a common tradeshow, seminar or convention handout and for good reason. They have proven to stand the test of time and they will never grow old! Personalized Pencils
Modern promotional pencils are the descendants of ancient writing instruments.
In ancient Rome, scribes wrote on papyrus (an early form of paper) with a thin metal rod
called a stylus, which left a light but readable mark. Other early styluses were made of
lead. Today we still call the core of a pencil the "lead" even though it is made from nontoxic graphite.
Graphite came into widespread use following the discovery of a large graphite deposit in Borrowdale, England in 1564.
Graphite left a darker mark than lead, but was so soft and brittle that it required a holder. At first, sticks of
graphite were wrapped in string. Later, the graphite was inserted into wooden sticks that had been hollowed-out by
hand! The wood-cased pencil was born.

Promotional Pencil Advertising, History Lesson
1789 : New Jersey ratifies the Bill of Rights
On this day in 1789, New Jersey ratifies the Bill of Rights, becoming the first state to do so. New Jersey’s action
was a first step toward making the first 10 amendments to the Constitution law and completing the revolutionary
reforms begun by the Declaration of Independence.
The Anti-Federalist critics of the U.S. Constitution were afraid that a too-strong federal government would become
just another sort of the monarchical regime from which they had recently been freed. They believed that the
Constitution gave too much power to the federal government by outlining its rights but failing to delineate the
rights of the individuals living under it. Before the Massachusetts ratifying convention would accept the
Constitution, then, which they finally did in February 1788, the document’s Federalist supporters had to
promise to create a Bill of Rights to be amended to the Constitution immediately upon the creation of a new
government under the document. This helped to assuage the Anti-Federalists’ concerns.
This information was probablay recorded by a promitional pen or pencil.
As promised, the newly elected Congress drafted the Bill of Rights on December 25, 1789. Drafted by James Madison
and loosely based on Virginia’s Declaration of Rights, the first 10 amendments give the following rights to all
United States citizens:
1. Freedom of religion, speech and assembly
2. Right to keep and bear arms for the purpose of a well-regulated militia
3. No forcible quartering of soldiers during peacetime
4. Freedom from unreasonable search and seizure
5. Right to a grand jury for capital crimes and due process. Protection from double jeopardy,
self-incrimination and public confiscation of private property without "just compensation"
6. Right to "speedy and public" trial by jury and a competent defense
7. Right to trial by jury for monetary cases above $20
8. Protection against "excessive" bail or fines and "cruel and unusual" punishments
9. Rights not enumerated are "retained by the people"
10. Rights not given to the federal government or prohibited the state governments by the Constitution, "are
reserved to the States... or to the people"
Exodus 34:28
And he was there with the LORD forty days and forty nights; he did neither eat bread, nor drink water. And he
wrote upon the tables the words of the covenant,
the ten commandments.
On May 15, 1963, Gordon Cooper is launched into space aboard Faith 7 on the longest American space mission to that date. Faith 7 was the capstone of Project Mercury, the NASA program that put the first American into space in 1961 and the first astronaut into orbit in 1962. Cooper completed 22 orbits of the earth and spent 34 hours in space. He was the first American astronaut to spend more than a day in space. On the afternoon of May 16, Faith 7 landed safely in the Pacific Ocean, four miles from the recovery ship Kearsarge.
Cooper was honored by parades in Hawaii and Washington, D.C., where he addressed a joint session of Congress, and in New York City, where he was greeted by a massive ticker-tape crowd. Later Shawnee, Oklahoma--Cooper's hometown--celebrated the return of the sixth Mercury astronaut from space. Promotional pencils work better in outer space than pens.
