Cram Globes - U.S. / World Starter Roller Map Combo

Cram Globes:

The George F. Cram Co., Inc. story dates back to 1867, when George Cram, after serving in the Union Army, joined his uncle's business of making city and state maps. In 1869, Cram became the first American publisher to produce a world atlas. The Cram name quickly became synonymous with accuracy and innovation. In 1932, the company expanded into manufacturing world globes.

Loren B. Douthit began working for the Cram Company as a School Sales Field Manager in 1939 becoming President and major share holder in 1966. Under his leadership, special emphasis was placed on the educational globe market. Upon his retirement in 1978, his eldest son, William, took over as President, while his youngest son, Jay, became Vice-President. Both sons maintain these positions today.

The Cram company is considered one of the top leaders in the supply of geographical material in the industry with two divisions, school and commercial. The school division has 75 independent representatives who take the products to individual schools throughout the USA. The commercial division has a number of manufacturer's representatives who sell globes to many markets including Retail Stores, Map, Furniture, Office Supply and Gift Stores.

The George F. Cram Co., Inc. product line includes globes of all types, from floor stand globe models to illuminated table models; a complete range of continent and world wall maps; and a wide variety of geography education programs and materials. Dedication to research and development of new technologies will carry Cram's 137 year history of leadership in providing innovative, useful and instructional products well into the 21nd century.
