They are still around today. I used to pass their headquarter on my daily train ride for many years. Definitely NOT family, these guys. BTW their best known product is a cardboard two-hole filing folder; while there are many companies making those the name "Leitz-Ordner" has become a generic term (like you say xeroxed for photocopied). - -- Dieter Dieter Stoll D-72127 Kusterdingen, Germany dstoll@tuebingen.netsurf.de Home fax: +49-7071-368520
