WATERMAN'S ''IDEAL" FOUNTAIN PEN. 



FLOW of ink regulated automatically by act of writing, 

 free as from a freshly dipped i>en and much more even. 

 SIMPLEST, cleanest, readiest and most easily man- 

 aged of all the fountain pens. 



NO air-valves or otlier machinery, and consequently 

 nothing to get out of order or to be adjusted. 

 WHEN the cap is removed it is ready to write, and 

 when the writing is done the cap can be replaced. 

 WRITES according to the size of the holder, from 10 

 to 2o hours continuously, with one filling, and any de- 

 sired kind, color or quality of ink can be used. 



USES tfold or steel pens of the ordinary forms, and your 

 favorite pen can be fitted. 

 PENS in the holders are always wet with ink, and as 

 steel pens are continually rusting or corroding, it is 

 better to use a gold pen which never rusts nor corrodes ink. 



PENS can be filled and left for months without being 

 used, and when opened the ink will flow as readily as 

 if just filled.

 sive, and for the common steel pen : also, an assort-
