Big Chief Tablet

The Big Chief tablet was a popular writing notebook for several generations of young children in the United States. It utilized newsprint paper and featured widely spaced lines, easier to write in for those learning to write. Its prominence, though, was the cover's representation of a native American in full headdress, hence "Big Chief."

Famous quotes containing the words big, chief and/or tablet:

    When I say artist I don’t mean in the narrow sense of the word—but the man who is building things—creating molding the earth—whether it be the plains of the west—or the iron ore of Penn. It’s all a big game of construction—some with a brush—some with a shovel—some choose a pen.
    Jackson Pollock (1912–1956)

    The chief internal enemies of any state are those public officials who betray the trust imposed upon them by the people.
    Dalton Trumbo (1905–1976)

    The eyes, opening and shutting like keyholes
    and never forgetting, recording by thousands,
    the skull with its brains like eels
    the tablet of the world
    the bones and their joints
    that build and break for any trick....
    Anne Sexton (1928–1974)
