No. I 24.—Cold-Mount¬ 
ed Business Pencil. -Mce 
GO cents.-A new thing, and one 
of tlie neatest and most convenient 
in the shape of a Business Pencil, 
ever made. 4,000 have been sell¬ 
ing weekly. The Pencil has a fine 
Gold Plate Mounting; first quality 
Hard-Rubber Slide; is simple and 
strong in construction ; has no 
springs nor complicated median, 
ical movement, and, being only 3 % 
in. long when closed, can be safely 
carried in the vest pocket. Every 
pencil is warranted. 
Leads of different sizes can be 
used; but the large black lead, or 
copying leads are preferable, and can 
be found in all stationery stores. In 
putting in a new lead, the point 
must be unscrewed, the lead slip¬ 
ped into the slotted tube, the length 
of projection of the lead desired 
gauged by holding the finger on the 
point while the pencil is held up¬ 
right, and the point then turned 
until it presses the lead sufficiently to~hold 
it. The thread inside the slotted tube re¬ 
moves the danger found in pencils with 
“ claw ” points, of biting off the lead. 1 new 
subscriber at $1.50 will secure it; OR it will 
be sent, post-paid, on receipt of the price. 
The engravings show the Pencil as open 
and closed.
