ivestigating fountain pens. We wanted a good cheap pen to give our friends in return for sending us 
Ve tried several ourselves to make sure. They are nuisances. The cheap fountain pen is not worth as much

as the ordinary steel pen that costs only a cent. We found good fountain pens, but they are dear. This cut represents one 
of the best we can find. The retail price is $2.50. Tt is a hard rubber holder, bottom feed, with a heavy sold 14 karat gold 
pen. This is a pen that will stand heavy usage and last a lifetime. It is fully warranted, and may be returned if not satisfac¬ 
tory in every way. 
Just for the month of September we are going to give an opportunity to get this pen easily. Send us a club of 10 new 
subscriptions to The R. N.-Y at 25 cents. We will send the new subscriber the paper every week for the remainder of the 
year, and also a copy of “The Business Hen.” The price of the book alone is 75 cents, and the subscription 30 cents. So you 
can see the bargain you can offer. For your work we will send you free and postpaid one of these pens complete. Do not 
confound this with the cheap pens offered by some other publishers. Gold is printed on them in plain sight, hut hunt them 
out and you will see the word plated. They are not as good as a steel pen and cost about the same. This offer will not hold 
good after September, but if you have a club started this month we will allow a few days next month to close it up, provided 
you send in the names as you secure them. The Rural New-Yorker, 
409 Pearl Street, New York.
