Keeping Zippo's flame eternal

Article Abstract:

George Duke, co-owner of Zippo Manufacturing, maker of the iconic metal cigarette lighter, acknowledges that with smoking on the decline the demand for his company's lighters will definitely decrease. Company officials agree that the iconic status of the lighter is not enough to see an increase in sales and hence are looking at other products as well as manufacturing higher end products unrelated to tobacco to cater to the demands of very discerning customers.
