Most of us memorized the Pledge of Allegiance back in kindergarten, but do any of us really know the true origins of it? Today is Pledge of Allegiance Day- did you know…

  • The first American pledge of allegiance (different from the one we recite today) was written by Captain George Thatcher Balch during the Civil War. It goes:

“We give our heads and hearts to God and our country; one country, one language, one flag!”

  • The pledge we all know today was based on one written by Francis Bellamy in 1892. It goes:

“I pledge allegiance to my Flag and the Republic for which it stands, one nation, indivisible, with liberty and justice for all”

  • Congress formally adopted Bellamy’s pledge in 1942, and added the words “Under God” in 1954.

These American flag tally books are a daily reminder of our love for our country:

to keep track of their tasks.

  • What time did we add another length of pipe to the drilling rig?
  • What size was the pipe?
  • What was the pressure setting on the drilling rig?
  • How much fuel do we have left?

These workers need a rugged book to record these measurements. Tally books need these features:

  1. A waterproof vinyl cover that is also abrasion resistant
  2. At least 100 pages
  3. A size that can fit in a shirt pocket or back pants pocket
  4. Waterproof paper, called “stone”, is also a good idea. It is also tear-resistant.
  5. Lines on the pages, to keep data in an orderly fashion
  6. A pen loop attached to the vinyl cover, to keep your writing instrument close at hand
  7. An inside vinyl pocket to keep business cards and special notes
  8. Important phone numbers printed on the vinyl cover
  9. Your company logo printed on the front, in full color
  10. Optional clear vinyl sleeves to contain special papers
  11. Important conversion tables printed on the cover (either outside or inside)
