    Coleman is proud of their heritage as a company full of innovative ideas. It started with W.C. Coleman himself selling lanterns with mantles instead of wicks that emitted brighter white light, and progressed through to the introduction of plastic coolers and the distribution of a million portable "pocket stoves" to GIs in World War II.
