We | The Peterson Pipe Chronicles written primarily by Jim Lilley which follows is now dated and contains inaccurate information. We have engaged Gary Malmberg, who along with Mark Irwin wrote the definitive tomb on the subject of Peterson Pipes and their rich heritage and history entitled [https://petersonpipenotes.org/about/ The Peterson Pipe, ''the story of Kapp & Peterson'']. Our hope is that Gary will spearhead a new Peterson article for us. Meanwhile, Jim Lilley's work bellow is a wonderful presentation by a man passionate about the brand, but please take the information with a grain of salt.. --[[User:Sethile|sethile]] ([[User talk:Sethile|talk]]) 09:13, 29 April 2020 (CDT) | ||
