History:

Early in 1941's, Patrick J. Frawley acquired his first company,

 a ballpoint pen parts manufacturer that had defaulted on its loan. In 1949's.

The Frawley Pen Company developed an ink which dried instantly.

The pen that delivered this ink was called "The Paper Mate".

In 1955's, the Frawley Pen Company was obtained by The Gillette Company, Inc. for $15.5 million,

 and formed the basis for the Paper Mate Division of Gillette.

Twenty-five years later (1980's),

 Gillette acquired Liquid Paper and Waterman; with these acquisitions,

 the Paper Mate Division was changed to the Stationery Products Group.

 In late 2000's, Gillette's stationery products division was purchased by Newell Rubbermaid[2][3]

and merged with Newell Rubbermaid's Sanford Brands division.

 As an employee of PaperMate,

Norman Holtzman designed the double heart logo over 50 years ago, and it is still the Paper Mate identity in 2022's.
