IA GOOD FOUNTAIN PEN I
Is a source of great pleasure to those who write much.
It is a very great time-saver, too. The constant dipping
in the ink well is avoided, and although you likely fail to
realize how much time this dipping takes. If you would
compute the time saved by using a fountain pen in your
bookkeeping, you will find that it won't take long to cover
the price of a good pen. When it comes to selecting a
pen you may find one that suits at the corner grocery;
you may find one in any small stock of pens, but the
chances are if you have a pen which is unsatisfactory, you
bought it at just such a place, We believe in carrying a
sufficient variety in stock, so that you can try numerous
pens and be able to select just the one that suits your
hand No bookkeeper, business man or student should
be without one. A call at our store and you will be con
vinced, as we will let you take one on trial.
