The Swan Fountain Pen. — Messrs. Mabie, Todd, and Bard,

 sufficient supply of ink to last for several days, and a solid gold iridium-tipped 

 pen. We find writing with this pen quite a pleasure ; it travels very smoothly

 years, and finds it writes better now than at first. The price is from 10/6 

 upwards.
