BEE-KEEPER'S 



GOLD-NIB 

 FOUNTAIN PEN 



A really good 

 pen. As far as 

 true usefulness 

 goes it is equal 

 to any of the high- 

 er-priced, much- 

 advertised pens. 

 If you pay more it's 

 the name you're 

 charged for. 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-Ieakable. 

 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- 

 keeper ought to carry one in his 

 vest-pocket. Comes in box with 

 directions and filler. Each pen 

 guaranteed. Here shown H ac- 

 tual size. 



Price alone, postpaid. $1.25. 'With 

 a year's sub scription. $1.50.
