First, all writing needs were weighed. Then this Lifetime Pencil was made to meet those require ments supremely well. Costly Waspalumin, that tough and non-corrosive metal, was used gen erously. Only unbreakable Radite would do for the barrel. Solder loosens; solder was eliminated. Parts were machined to 1/1000 inch limits.. This fleet, beautiful instrument writes with lightest touch, operates with unfaltering sureness that betokens endless service. There is no other like it in all the world. See it demonstrated. Then write; you'll know you have found a lifetime. writing companion.
