Over the years that followed George Blaisdell would gain necessary traits that would aid him in his greatest accomplishment yet by ultimately taking over the Blaisdell Machinary Company. In 1920 George made a very wise move and sold the enterprise investing the money into oil booming success in the Roaring 20′s. Success any way only lasted a few short years as the Great Depression annihilated the Oil industry retention the Blaisdell house retention on by a thread.

Torchured by the hardships of the depression George Blaisdell one day observed his friend awkwardly try to use an Austrailian-made lighter. George noticed that the lighter worked highly well in windy conditions because of the fabricate but lacked due to it requiring two hands to light up and an assuredly bended metal frame.
