How many if you remember using these Big Chief writing tablets in school? 📝 I remember using them when I started first grade in 1972. Here is some history on them: Big Chief writing tablets were used from the 1930s until production ceased in 2001, though they were revived in the 2010s. Their popularity peaked in the 1960s before declining with the rise of the three-ring binder and spiral notebook. Early history (1930s–1960s): The first Big Chief tablets were produced in the 1930s by the Western Tablet Company. The brand became a staple in American classrooms, with usage peaking around the 1960s. Decline (1960s–2001): The introduction of the three-ring binder and spiral notebook began to decrease the market share of Big Chief tablets. In 1966, the Western Tablet Company was sold, and the brand eventually ceased original production in 2001. Revival (2010s): Production was resumed by American Trademark Publishing in 2011.
