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

 I I ped pen and much more even. Records antl 



I tters written with this pen have a uniform color 

 t nk on every page. 



It is the simplest, cleanest, readiest and most 

 ly managed of all the fountain pens.

 It uses gold or steel pens of the ordinary forms, 

 1 your favorite pen can be fitted, 

 llie pens in the holders are always wet with 

 k, and steel pens are continually rusting or cor- 

 ling and soon spoil and need to be renewed 

 I 'ther they have been used or not; and they 

 1 ays cause more or less decomposition of the 

 1 . A g<ild pen never rusts nor does it corrode 

 tl t ink. It is always the same favorite pen every 

 il;iv in the year. 



'I'he hard rubber being incorrodible, with a gold 

 pen there is nothing that can be injured by the 

 ink, !ind unlr-ss xmnecessarily injured they will
