In the beginning... my father had a Stanley. He was a public school special education teacher for over 20 years. Every memory I had of him going to school, or when I visited with him in the summer right before the school started, he had his Stanley with him. His Stanley had signs, not of destruction, but of indestructibility! Never have I seen something so worn yet seemingly untouched!

Many people nowadays will throw something away when it gets worn... When a Stanley is scratched, dented and splattered with paint, it is not time to get rid of it, it’s just getting worn in! When I became an adult, I dreamed of when I could get my own Stanley and have my own memories. I am an EMT, and my coffee stays warm from 0445 until I finish it--whenever I have time to drink it.

Stanley stands for quality, durability and memories. No matter how old a Stanley is, or what new indestructible plastic water bottle comes out, you can never destroy a Stanley. I will put my Stanley up to any other bottle, in any climate. If it's hot, it will stay hot. If it's cold, it will stay cold. If you drop it, it will never leak... Try that with any water bottle. My Stanley is getting good use. Nothing so worn has ever looked so good!
