 largedfor. The Gold 

 Nib is guaranteed 14 Karat gold. 

 Iridium pointed. The holder is 

 hard-rubber, handsomely finish- 

 ed. The cover fits snugly and 

 can't slip off because it slightly 

 wedges over the barrel at either 

 end. This pen is non-leakable. 

 It is very easily cleaned, the pen- 

 point and feeder being quickly 

 removed. The simple feeder 

 gives a uniform supply of ink to 

 the pen-point without dropping, 

 blotting or spotting. Every bee- 

 keepei ought to carry one in his 

 vest-pocket. Comes in box with 

 directions and filler. Each pen 

 guaranteed. Here shown Ja ac-
