Blick's 1st catalog originated in 1911 in the form of a tiny pamphlet issued by the firm's two founding partners, Mr. And Mrs. Dick Blick. The warehouse was situated in their kitchen and their shipping department was the local post office. Their 1st product was a lettering pen, which speedily became a finest-seller.hirty-seven Years later, sensing a tremendous business opportunity, my grandfather, Robert Metzenberg, purchased Dick Blick from its founders.
