 * "In 1858 he was able to establish himself as the **sole pen manufacturer in the USA**..." The next sentence says, "At the time, two of **the four pen companies located in the United States**..." Are some pen *companies* not *manufacturers*?
 * "To meet the fountain pen demand the company reformed as "The Esterbrook Hazel Pens Ltd," in the chronology that makes it sound as if this change happened before or in 1940. The next sentence says, "In 1947 Esterbrook bought out John Mitchell ... and then acquired Hazell Pen Co. The company re-formed again as "The Esterbrook Pen Company". It's unclear why Esterbrook would add "Hazel" to their name, *then* purchase Hazell Pen Co., then change their name to Esterbrook Pen Company.
