 the name you're 

 charged for. The Gold 

 Nib IS guaranteed 14 Karat gold. 

 Indium 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. 

 Itis 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 bo.\ with 

 directions and filler. Each pen 

 guaranteed. Here shown H ac-
