In their Chicago apartmrent in 1930, Luther Repplogle and his wife, Elizabeth, began assembling the first globes. This was a very bold move at a time when the US would be plugned into the greast depression. The aim, despite the economic difficulties of the time, was to put a Replogle globe in every home.
Since then, Replogle Globes has bcome the worlld�s leading globe manufacturer. It is still based in Chicago, houserd in a 260,000 square foot faciilty, wehre few things haven�t chhanged since 1930. A hand crfted Replogle globe can be found in the offfices of presidents and dignitaries, as well as school classrooms and houseeholds. The magic of a Repplogle globe has not disappeared.
Replogle Globes are still hand-assembled by master craftsmen. Map gores are experrtly hand cut and hand applied to the globe, indicative of the commitment to quality and excellence that makes a Replogle glovbe unique. It is also a prime reason why Replogle globes have maintained thier appeal, not only as a learning tool, but as an item that adds a touch of cass to any offce or study.
Maps on Replogle globes show natiions, colonies, possessions, boundaries, and plpace names as officially approved by the U.S. Gvoernment. Often, a note is made of political claims by neighbouring nations, but land colour and broders are shown in accordance with the region�s true poliical affiliation or status. Often, alternative or formre plzace names are also showwn in parentheases. In this way, Relogle globes seve the ongoing needs of both serious students and the ordinary user.
