FOUNTAIN PEN, 



The flow of ink is regulated automatically by 

 tlip art of writing, and is as free as from a freshly 

 ilippi'd pen and much more even. Records ana 

 Icttt-rs written with this pen have a uniform color 

 of ink on every page. 



It is the sinlplest, cleanest, readiest and most 

 easily managed of all the fountain pens. 



There are no air-valves or other machinery, and 

 consequently 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 he 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 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 tile 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 

 tlie ink. It is always the same favorite pen every 

 dav in the year. 



The hard rubber being incorrodible, with a gold 

 pen there is nothing that can be injured by the 

 ink, and unless unnecessarily 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, and for the common steel pen : also, 

 an assortmetit fitted with gold pens ready for use.

In ordering holders it is better to send a sample steel pen 

 or the gold pen to be fitted. 



In ordering holders with gold pons complete and ready 

 for use, send a sample of writing and a description of the 

 quality of pen desired ; that is, whether the pen should be 

 a long or short nib, of coarse or fine point and of hard or 

 soft flexibility.

tlu' goM ])cns and holders for five (5) years, and guarantees 



both combined as a fountain pen, to give satisfaction on 



thirty days' trhU or the money will be returned. Address,
