THE
STORY
From its humble beginnings in an old chicken house in Indiana, the Harcourt Pencil Company has grown into a business that manufactures and sells over 70,000,000 wood cased pencils per year. Passed down from Conrad C. and Norma S. Harcourt to their children Joe and Jean Ann Harcourt, the company serves over 14,000 elementary, middle and high schools throughout the United States, making them one of the world’s leading manufacturers of school pencils.
From custom pencils screen printed with your text and painted with your school’s colors, to novelty pencils featuring everything from sports teams to inspirational messages, there’s a Harcourt pencil for every occasion. Every Harcourt pencil is made of basswood and features a centered graphite core that resists breakage, making them perfect for students, teachers and pencil users of all types.
