A little piece of Nisbetts history.
This stapler has been around for as long as I can remember. Sitting on desks, stapling invoices, orders, receipts, and countless pieces of paperwork over the years.
Curious about the markings on it, I looked it up and discovered it’s an APSCO A10 made in Toronto, Ontario. It’s estimated to be decades old and may even date back to the early years of Nisbetts Clothiers.
What makes it especially meaningful is that my dad, Greg Nisbett, used this stapler throughout his entire career. Day after day, year after year, it sat on his desk helping run the business he loved.
The amazing part? It still works perfectly. In fact, it works better than many of the new staplers we’ve gone through over the years.
My grandfather opened Nisbetts Clothiers in 1967, and while I can’t say for certain this stapler has been here since day one, it has become a small symbol of the legacy he started, my dad carried forward, and that we’re proud to continue today.
Some things just aren’t made like they used to be.
❤️ Three generations. One family business. Since 1967.
