Lefax was a company founded in 1910 by J. C. Parker in Philadelphia that produced a range of personal organizers.[1][2] In its early days, the biggest customers were power plant engineers whose technical handbooks had grown too big to carry.[3]
In 1921, a London printer and stationery marketer, Norman & Hill Ltd., began importing the organizers, called Lefaxes. Several years later, they began to make the personal files under their Filofax brand.[3]
The Lefax trademark was registered 5 October 1926.[1] Its use in the engineering industries was so pervasive that some journals were published in Lefax format.[4]
In the 1980s Lefax was bought out by London Wood Partners, a British firm,[3] and in 1992 the company was acquired by its rival, Filofax. The original intention was that Lefax would be Filofax's top-of-the-line range[5] but the Lefax brand was eventually phased out.
