The Largest Globe Manufacturer in the World. The company is named after founder Luther I. Replogle, a onetime school supplies salesman that saw a need for globes in every home. When the company started, Replogle made globes by buying printed globe sheets from another company, cutting them into strips called gores, and painstakingly hand fitting the gores together and assembling the globes by hand. As the company grew, the hand crafted tradition continued, and cartographers hired by Luther then created exclusive maps to be printed for our globes. Special heated forming presses were purchased to form the globes into spheres and Replogle could then make thousands of globes. The company continues to make hand covered globes the old fashioned way, but globes made from the new process are more economical and allow most anyone to afford a globe.
