Founded in Lyon in 1932, 'Papeteries Verilhac freres' was taken by brothers Henri and Robert Verilhac across France and northern Africa. Their famous notepads with the Rhodia signature of two close fir trees were first produced in 1934. The logo symbolises the pair's brotherhood- the trees being native to the Rhone-Alpes region, home of the company.
