FOUNTAIN PEN' 



".:« 



i!l 



The tlow of ink is rcf^ulateil automatically by 

 tlio act of writing, and is as free as from a freslily 

 'lipped pen and much more even. Records and 

 I'tt-ers written with this pen have a uniform color 

 oi ink on every page. 



It is the simplest, cleanest, readiest and moat 

 easily managed of all the fountain pens. 



There are no air-valves or otlier machinery, and 

 ronseciuently nothing to get out of order or to be 

 adjusted or regulated. 



When the cap is removed it is ready to write, 

 and when the writing is done the cap can be re- 

 placed and the pen is ready for the pocket. 



It writes, according to the size of the holder, 

 from 10 to 25 hours continuously, with one tilling ; 

 and any desired kind, color orquality of ink can 

 be used. 



It uses gold or steel pens of the ordinary forms, 

 nnd your favorite pen can be fitted. 



The pens in the holders are always wet with 

 ink, and stt-cl pens are continually rusting or cor* 

 rndiii^ and soon spoil and need to be renewed 

 wlu'tlier they have been used or mot; and they 

 always cause more or less decomposition of the 

 ink. A gold pen never rusts nor does it corrode 

 tlic ink. It is always the same favorite pen every 

 dav in the year. 



The hard rubber being incorrodible, with a gold 

 jiiMi there is nothing that can be injured by the 

 ink, and unless unnecessarily iniured tbev will 

 last a lifetime. They can be tilled and left for 

 months without being used, and when opened the 

 ink will flow as readily as if just tilled. 



We have holders for gold pens of numbers 3 to 

 S inclusive, and for the common steel pen : also,
