History of Kalamazoo. It really began 334 years ago when Sir Samuel Morland, private secretary to Oliver Cromwell, was appointed "Master of Mechanics" to His Most Excellent Majesty, Charles the Second, King of Great Britain, France, Ireland, etc.In 1664, Sir Samuel Morland produced a calculating machine to add, subtract, multiply and divide. He also produced a pocket-sized machine. In 1904, his descendant, Oliver Morland, head of the English printing house of Morland & Impey Ltd heard of a loose-leaf binder - constructed on a flexible thong principle - which had just been invented in Kalamazoo, Michigan, USA. He acquired world rights, excluding North and South America. The English company then began production of the loose-leaf binder and, because of its birthplace, gave it the trade name of "Kalamazoo". In December, 1915, the doors of Charles Howie Pty Ltd opened for business in Aberdeen Buildings, Collins Street, Melbourne. The company was set up by Charles E. Howie to market Kalamazoo loose leaf ledgers in Australia.
