FOUNTAIN PEN, 



The flow of ink is regulated automatically by 

 the act of writing, and is as free as from a freshly 

 dipped pen and much more even. Recorda and 

 letters written with this pen have a uniform color 

 of inli on every page. 



It is the simplest, cleanest, readiest and most 

 easily managed of all the fountain pens. 



There are no air-valves or other machinery, and 

 I'oiisequently nothing to get out of order or to be 

 :ul)nsr('d or regulated. 



Wht-n the cap is removed it is ready to write, 

 ;inil when tlie writing is done the cap can be re- 

 lilaii'il and the pen is ready for the pocket. 



It writes, according to the size of the holder, 

 fioui 10 to 25 hours continuously, with one filling; 

 and any desired kind, color or quality of ink can 

 be used. 



It uses gold or steel pens of the ordinary forms, 

 and your favorite pen can be fitted. 



The pens in the holders are always wet with 

 ink, and steel pens are continually rusting or cor- 

 roding and soon spoil and need to be renewed 

 whether they have been used or not; and they 

 always cause more or less decomposition of the 

 ink. A gold pen never rusts nor does it corrode 

 the ink. It is always the same favorite pen every 

 day in the year. 



The hard rubber being incorrodible, with a gold 

 pen there is nothing that can be injured by the 

 ink, and unless unnecessarUy injured they will 

 last a lifetime. They can be filled and left for 

 months without being used, and when opened the 

 ink will flow as readily as if just filled. 



We have holders for gold pens of numbers 3 to 

 8 inclusive, antl for the common steel pen : also, 

 an assortment fitted with gold pens ready for use.
