Day-Timers, Inc., offers more than 100 paper-based systems and computer products for business, school, and home use. Day-Timer products are available through select retailers, office supply dealers, the Day-Timer catalog, and the Day-Timer webstore, www.daytimer.com. Day-Timers is part of ACCO North America, which is an operating company within the Home and Office group of Fortune Brands, Inc. (NYSE-FO), the international consumer products company.
The Day-Timer story began with a manual printing press in a chicken coop in a small town near Allentown, Pennsylvania. Warren Dorney, a newspaperman and entrepreneur bought the press to print labels for his business, and to give his three young sons something constructive to do. The boys soon started to earn money, printing small orders for name cards and raffle tickets. In 1940, two of Warren's sons, Bob and Bill, started their first mail-order business -- printing birthday calendars for churches, and in 1942 they registered Dorney Printing Co. as a business. In 1948, the first building to house the printing business was erected ( in the Dorney's backyard -- where it's still in use today).
In the late 1970s, noted trainer Charles Hobbs, who advocated that time management was the key to a healthy and balanced life, discovered the Day-Timer planner. He used samples of the product in his time management seminars in which he showed attendees how to set goals, prioritize and record their activities, and make better use of their days. In the late 1980s, Day-Timers bought out Hobbs' part of the business, acquired the rights to Time Power, a series of books and tapes related to time management, and entered the field of time management seminars. The 1980s were years that saw many changes in the company. Responding to customer requests, the company added many new page designs to the original 2-page-per-day, including: the 1-page-per-day, 2-page-per-week, and 2-page-per-month, as well as a number of different sizes. And distribution expanded to include markets in Australia and New Zealand. In 1988 American Brands, Inc. acquired Day-Timers and placed the company in their office products division, under the umbrella of ACCO World Corporation.
In the last few years of the century, Day-Timers, anticipating the technological demands of the new millennium, introduced three new software products: Day-Timer HomeLife, the first home organization software; Day-Timer Organizer 2000, an updated version of Day-Timer Organizer 98; and Day-Timer PaperMaker for Palm OS, a graphical printer driver that lets Palm OS users print directly from their handheld organizer to the familiar look of Day-Timer pages. The company also entered into a marketing and product development venture with Sharp Electronics, and introduced the Sharp Wizard Oz series bundled with Day-Timer Organizer software.
Day-Timers celebrated its Golden Anniversary in 1997: 50 years of leadership in helping make millions of people's lives easier. We invented the modern personal organizer, and half a century later we're still at the cutting edge.
